Ansi standard 5 axis accuracy test block
Ansi standard 5 axis accuracy test block
(OP)
Anyone heard of a Standard machine manufacturers use for testing their machines when they arrive? We are acquiring two Makino Mag 1 machines and need a test block to check the accuracy of the machine. I have the post done and will be programming the parts but until we test the machine and figure out what accuracy settings work best for this machine and that everything moves correctly when utilizing G43.4 and G68.2.
If anyone knows of a standard block/part that are being used when testing 5 axis machine accuracy and movement I would appreciate the feedback or web address!
Thanks

To test that new machine at 1000ipm, you will need a long straight cut just to get the table up to that speed. Maybe a sine wave cut may be best for test the feed rate maximum. Unless you are cutting wing spars very few parts have the length that can utilize that feed rate. Take the NAS979 test part and use it for machine repeatability. If you have a long travel, maybe do 2, one at each end and do the same cut on each end to test accuracy between the ends of travel. cut the sine wave when traveling between the 2 test blocks.
