Calibration of CNC Machines - IMTMA/M003

Programme Background

Machine Tool Calibration is rapidly becoming an essential part of the manufacturing process with customers demanding higher accuracy from machine tools for handling precision parts with tighter tolerances. The ability of a machine tool to perform at its optimum level is largely based on the geometrical and positioning accuracies of the machine slides and guideways. Machine tools are subject to positioning errors which might increase over a period of time due to natural wear and tear or failing parts or worn out moving parts.

Focus Areas

Introduction to calibration; The need and benefits of calibration.
Accuracy, Repeatability and Resolution
National and International standards for determining Positional accuracy and Repeatability of machine tools.
Linear measurements - Linear scales, Laser interferometer : Principles of operation
Rotary Measurement - Autocollimator, Laser rotary calibrator
Laser Interferometer set up for calibration
Ball Bar measurements
Diagnosis of errors using graphs / plots obtained during calibration with case studies and examples.

The need for Productivity Institute

Is your work place suffering from poor productivity?
Do you feel that supervision is weak on the shop floor?
Do your shop floor personnel find it difficult to achieve targets?
You have the machine in place, but not the men to optimize usage?

Realizing the need to enhance the skill sets of fresh engineers in mechanical engineering to make "Industry Employable" and to mould them as per the company requirements, IMTMA organizes

The rapid growth of Indian machine tool Industry and the increasing sophistication of machine tool has created the need for a new breed of machine tool technologists.
