Maintaining the accuracy and precision of your CNC machine tool is essential to ensuring the quality and reliability of your products. Without regular calibration, even the most advanced CNC machines can drift out of specification, leading to inaccurate measurements and compromised part quality. Our expert CNC machine calibration services are designed to keep your equipment running at peak performance, maximising your production capabilities.
Calibration is crucial for achieving and maintaining the standardisation and repeatability needed for reliable, consistent results. For complex, multi-axis machines like 5-axis machining centres, any deviation in the motion of the various axes can significantly impact part precision. Regular CNC calibration ensures that each axis works in perfect harmony, eliminating sources of error such as backlash, reversal spikes, and servo mismatches.
Our CNC calibration process is tailored to address the unique needs of each machine type, from 2-axis lathes to multi-spindle turning centres. Here’s how we ensure your CNC machine operates at its best:
Advanced Precision Testing: Using cutting-edge equipment like the RENISHAW QC20 ball bar, our team conducts detailed CNC precision testing to measure the motion of each axis. This allows us to pinpoint any deviations from the ideal path.
Expert Diagnosis and Correction: The data collected during testing enables us to diagnose a variety of issues, including geometric errors and dynamic performance problems. We then perform precise CNC machine alignment to correct these issues and restore your machine’s accuracy.
Preventative Maintenance: Beyond just calibration, we identify potential issues like worn ball screws or misaligned slideways, allowing for preventative maintenance that extends the lifespan of your machine tool and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.
As leading CNC calibration experts, we provide more than just adjustments—we offer peace of mind. Regular calibration helps to maintain the accuracy and longevity of your machine, ensuring it delivers the precision and reliability you need to stay competitive in today’s manufacturing environment. Whether you require a one-time calibration or an ongoing maintenance program, our skilled technicians have the knowledge and tools to keep your CNC machine operating at peak efficiency.
