INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY BY BALL BAR

Why use a RENISHAW QC20-W BALLBAR?

Even with the best machinery and best operators, machine derived defects can occur and producing rejection and rework parts - costs you time, money and even customers.

Using a RENISHAW BALLBAR offers you a proven solution

All CNC machining poses problems.

Nobody sets out to produce defective parts! Component dimensional and finish defects may result from bad tooling, worn out spindles or work piece clamping, but the major causes of defects can be due to positioning errors in the CNC machine tool itself; the result of geometric, dynamic and play errors within the machine.

Many errors can often be fixed in minutes, if only you knew where and what they were. It doesn't matter if your machine is new or old; all can have errors. The secret of “reject free” production is to know “just how good your machines really are”; helping to plan production and make adjustments when required.

“WIN WIN” situation - Everyone benefits

(production dept – quality control dept – maintenance dept.)

Whatever your role in your company there's a good reason you should be using a QC20-W BALLBAR.

Production - Make decisions regarding production and maintenance with confidence, keeping you in control of your manufacturing processes. Reduce rejection and rework, minimize machine downtime and eliminate delay in delivery schedules. Check that repairs and maintenance have had the desired effect. You can even reduce the need for work piece inspection, saving you even more time and money.

Quality - QC20-W test records give accepted proof of performance (to international standards such as ANSI/ASME B5.54, ANSI/ASME B5.57, JIS B6194 and ISO 230-4) satisfying audit requirements and are a powerful tool when bidding for contracts. Incorporate QC20-W BALLBAR tests into your QA system.

Maintenance - Use regular testing to schedule preventative maintenance and to control the quality of repairs and servicing. It's very simple to implement and cost effective too.

RENISHAW BALLBAR are in use with thousands of businesses throughout the world including machine tool manufacturers, maintenance & repair contractors and end users in aerospace, automotive and general engineering sectors. All companies, big or small, have one thing in common: a recognition that knowing and controlling their machine tool's capabilities improves their business and profitability.
