Wireless Ballbar for machine tool performance diagnosis.

Ballbar testing provides a simple, rapid check of a CNC machine tool’s positioning performance to recognized international standards (e.g.. ISO, ANSI/ASME) allowing users to benchmark and track the performance of their machines and to quickly diagnose problems before they need maintenance.

Regular ballbar testing of machine tools helps to:

• ensure accurate parts, first time, from CNC machines

• reduce machine down-time, scrap and inspection costs

• demonstrate compliance with machine performance and quality management standards

• implement fact-based predictive maintenance
