Machine collision, dead battery, replacement of axis drive motor…
These problems tend to occur in daily use of a machine.
They may result in initialization of the machine zero point position or misalignment of the turret.
We will introduce you to how to establish the zero point and how to measure misalignment!
Today, we will show you a video explaining how to establish the X-axis zero point and measure misalignment on an NC lathe.
In the video, the zero point is actually established using a self-boring holder.
Also, misalignment is measured by swinging a dial gauge applied to the I.D. of the self-boring holder.
Please refer to the video also when checking machine accuracy in maintenance!
Note on video content
・The machine is 2-axis NC lathe TCN-2100 T8 turret specification.
・Centering check is performed using a lever type dial gauge.
(Pay attention to the stand attaching state）
・A self-boring holder is used for checking.
(The self-boring holder has an I.D. finished on the machine. When the X-axis coordinate is 0, the center of the holder I.D. is in line with the spindle center.）
・Parameter operation is required.
(Be very careful not to input wrong values. Doing so may result in machine collision or accidents.）
