Ballbar Testing & Analysis
LMTS - CNC Repair Services
Machine tool repairs and servicing
CNC Ballbar Analysis shows the true machine accuracy. Just contact us to have your machine tested.
Backlash, reversal spikes, lateral play, cyclic error, straightness, scale error, servo mismatch and squareness.
We can perform a Ballbar Analysis Test to determine the machine's overall positional accuracy.
In theory, if a CNC Machine's positioning performance was perfect, a circle traced out by the machine would exactly match its programmed circular path. However in practice, any or the errors listed below can potentially cause the machine to deviate from the programmed circle path.
Ballbar Testing can be used as part of a Preventative maintenance program and or predictive maintenance system.
It also can be used to find the optimal feed rate of the machine.
