Mechanical Stability Test
|
There has always been an effort among most machine tool manufacturers to enable various design features in order to produce stable machine tools by means of minimizing friction, vibration and thermal effects. Achieving machine tool stability is a complex process that requires involvement of all participating parties from vendors to end users. The machine tool manufacturer plays the most important role as the creator and integrator of the machine. It does benefit our case to list potential causes of instability and integrity of machine tools:
As we can see not all causes lie with the machine builder. While all good intentions are capacitated, one can not predict the exact timing and magnitude of future instability issues due to production parameters, environmental conditions, operational errors, etc Here at Colonial we are renowned for our "RAS" (Rigidity-At-Speed) precision spindles. We are following the same philosophy when it comes to machine tools as a whole. We offer our services for mechanical stability testing. Complete written reports along with proposed corrective actions are created and handed to our customers. More than that, while we are at it, we can apply the corrective action. Give us a try, if you haven't done so already. Our sales staff will be more than please to assist you. | |
