 Why we use CNC Machines?

High Productivity.

High Accuracy.

Better Consistency.
 HOW To Achieve High Productivity ?

Programming.

Tooling.

Speed/Feed.
 Accuracy & Consistency?

Machine Selection.

Periodic Maintenance.

Environment.
 Then Why Error? Old Machine

Machine Usage Wear Error

Performance of CNC’s deteriorates
against age.

Errors due to Tolerance Stack-Ups.

 Here we needs Calibration.

To know Health of The Machine.

Why to know Health of The Machine?

To optimise Accuracy and Repeatability.

To enhance ‘Quality Life’ of the Machine.

 Calibration : Definition.
The act of evaluating and adjusting the precision
and accuracy of Machine.

Linear Axis ( X, Y, Z, u, v, w).

Rotary Axis (a, b, c).
XY, YZ , ZX Planes.
 Prerequisites
Machine Levelling.

Axis Straightness.

Axis Squareness.

ISO 230 – 1 : Geometric accuracy of machines operating under no-load.

 Laser Calibration
What to Measure :
Actual Displacement against commanded value.

Positioning Accuracy (P).

Positioning Repeatability (R).
Reversal Error(Backlash) (B).
Linear and Rotary Axis
ISO 230 – 2 : Determination of accuracy and repeatability of
positioning of CNC Machines.
 Laser Calibration Report
Current Status: ‘AS IS’
To Know Wear Pattern : ‘0’
Effect of New Values :‘NEW COMP’
Role of Accuracy and Repeatability.
 Various error effects

Positioning error is very high.

Backlash is more but uniform.

Backlash is more but non uniform.

 Care To Be Taken.
Never play with,
Pitch Error compensation Parameters.
Feed Backlash Parameters.
Rapid Backlash Parameters.

Run All Axis of the machine from ‘⁺ve’ limit to

‘⁻ve’ limit at least for 15 minuets a day.
Lubrication Oil Consumption Monitoring….
Leakage,
Blockage.
 Care To Be Taken.

Periodic verification of Machine tool level.

Wipe down covers and lubricate them with ‘Low

Viscosity Oil’ so they move smoothly.

Do not use compressed Air inside the machine.
