Geometric Accuracy of Machine Tools

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Measurement in Machining and Tribology

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

Geometric accuracy belongs to one of the main parameters of the machine tool. It serves not only for the purpose of machine delivery to the customer or for demonstration of proper service intervention but also for assessment of improvements compared to the current state. The information on geometric accuracy of the machine is also used as a feedback to the machine development. Therefore, increasing the geometric accuracy is a feature of the machine that needs to be constantly improved. This chapter presents geometric accuracy tests, instrumentation and examples of selected procedures to increase the geometric accuracy of CNC machine tools .
