How We Help Your Operations
Dynamic Tests for Circularity and Symmetry Errors
Matrix CNC uses advanced dynamic ballbar testing to evaluate circularity and symmetry errors in your CNC machines, pinpointing where movements deviate from perfect circles and revealing squareness and roundness errors. By simulating precise tool paths, we can quickly spot even the smallest variations that could affect finished part quality.
Ballbar tests uncover problems like servo mismatch, stick-slip, and ballscrew irregularities. Early detection allows us to recommend immediate corrective action, preventing costly breakdowns and rejects.
Backlash and Servo Performance Evaluation
Backlash, the slack or play in gears and lead screws, can lead to inaccuracies and scrap production. Our specialist engineers at Matrix CNC carry out in-depth analysis using ballbar accuracy testing to measure and interpret this play.
Likewise, any mismatch in servo performance across the machine's axes can reduce contour accuracy. We evaluate these issues and make targeted recommendations for mechanical adjustment or CNC machine repair.
Reports for Ongoing Maintenance Planning
After every ballbar test, Matrix CNC provides detailed, easy-to-understand reports. You'll see actionable data about your machine's performance trends, posture your maintenance schedules with confidence, and plan servicing before minor faults become production-stopping failures.
Our reports are an invaluable tool for predictive maintenance.
Supports Regular Audit and Compliance Schedules
Quality and productivity depend on machine accuracy. With routine Ballbar Testing from Matrix CNC, your operation in the Midlands will be well prepared for internal audits, external regulatory checks, and client inspections.
You'll demonstrate commitment to high standards, ensuring part quality and ongoing machine reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is ballbar accuracy testing performed on CNC machines?
Ballbar accuracy testing involves using a ballbar device to trace circular motions, detecting errors like backlash, squareness, and servo mismatch in CNC machines.
How does Ballbar Testing measure contouring performance?
Ballbar Testing measures contouring performance by analysing how closely a CNC machine follows a perfect circular path, identifying deviations in movement.
How can I test for ballbar deviation in my CNC machine?
By undertaking a ballbar test, specialists can record and assess deviations, providing a detailed report on mechanical and geometric errors.
What issues can Ballbar Testing identify?
Ballbar Testing by Matrix CNC identifies errors such as roundness, squareness, backlash, servo mismatch, and ballscrew problems.
Why is Ballbar Accuracy Testing important for CNC maintenance?
Ballbar Accuracy Testing ensures early detection of faults, supporting predictive maintenance and preventing costly machine downtime.
Can Ballbar Testing support audit and compliance requirements?
Yes, Matrix CNC's detailed ballbar results and reports can be used as documentation for regular audits and compliance schedules.
