Renishaw QC10 ballbar system

Quick check of machine performance

Reduce scrap and unexpected machine downtime by checking machine performance before component manufacture.

Use Renishaw's QC10 ballbar system to plan predictive maintenance programs, improve machine performance through targeted maintenance and increase the productivity of your machine shop.

• Ballbar 5 Windows software makes regular machine testing both quick and easy
• Data is analysed to ISO230-4, ANSI B5.54 or B5.57 machine performance standards, plus a comprehensive Renishaw analysis format.
• Machine errors are ranked according to their significance to overall machine accuracy
• 100mm to 600mm test radius

Circularity testing is recognised internationaly as a test of contouring accuracy on CNC machine tools. Renishaw's QC10 ballbar allows you to carry out such tests quickly and easily, a quick 10-minute test is all that is required to assess the performance of your machines:

• Increase machine uptime and productivity
• Reduce scrap
• Form predictive maintenance programs
• Pinpoint specific machine faults
• Comply with ISO, ANSI, JIS, QS9000 and ATA standards

If your facility has five or more CNC machines we recommend purchasing a ballbar system. We can also implement a plan where we benchmark your machines for you and recheck them on a scheduled basis to monitor your machines performance. With this data you can forcast a window of time where the machine can be brought back into desired specifications.
