Machine Calibration and Alignments
The ability of a machine tool to perform at its optimum is largely based on geometric and positioning accuracy. A routine schedule of calibration will help to maintain the consistent quality performance of machines.
Your machine tool needs to be regularly screened and corrected to expect dependable performance from your machine tools.
Machine tools need to maintain a standard of precision and accuracy for consistent production. With time and wear, machine tools are bound to develop discrepancies inaccuracy. According to a study by the National centre of manufacturing sciences, the machine tool itself accounts for 40% of all part quality problems. Correcting these will cut down accuracy and part quality problems significantly.
To identify the level of deviation and to bring it to an appropriate standard calibration is needed. We have discussed how ball bar calibrations are beneficial but do you know how Laser calibrations are now becoming an essential step of the ISO 9000 quality standard requirements?
Regular calibration ensures machine tools maintain maximum performance and are within tolerance. The reason for these programs is that if the process is accurate, then the part will be accurate as well. The result is higher quality parts, lower costs and shorter delivery times.
