Machine requirements |
|
X-axis clearance: | ≥ 220 mm from centre line |
Y-axis clearance: | ≥ 330 mm from chuck |
Spindle diameter: | ø25 mm (others will require additional magnetic base) |
Tool header: | accepts 20 mm or 25 mm tool shanks |
CNC control: | circular interpolation in ZX plane |
On lathes with restricted axis travel, it may be possible to perform a 50 mm radius test using the small circle accessory kit. It is crucial to ensure that there is clearance for the ballbar in this configuration before performing the test.
VTL adaptor
Easily diagnose and assess vertical turning lathes, laser cutting machines and pick and place machines with the VTL adaptor.
For tests performed in the ZX plane, the VTL adaptor allows the magnetic centre cup to be retracted after centring, without losing centre location. This enables the machine to be moved to the test start position.
The VTL adaptor includes:
- VTL adaptor
- Centre cup
Small circle accessory kit
This small circle accessory kit allows the QC20 ballbar to perform 50 mm radius tests (standard minimum is 100 mm). This provides enhanced analysis of servo control systems on most types of machines.
The kit includes:
- QC20 small circle adaptor
- Ballbar calibrator (50 mm)
Ballbar spindle centring device
The ballbar spindle centring device has been designed to simplify the set-up requirements when using QC20 ball bar for ISO 10791-6.
The device helps to centralise the tool cup tip with the spindle centreline which is critical for this test.
