Etalon speeds up volumetric error compensation of machine tools

Etalon has extended its fully automatic machine calibration LineCAL technology to include data acquisition ‘on-the-fly’. This now allows the complete volumetric calibration of machines in 40 minutes, with almost unlimited density of sampling point. The geometric testing and compensation of machine tools and coordinate measuring machines - especially for machine manufacturers – “is once again revolutionised”, the company claims.

With the LineCAL measuring system, Etalon offers the complete fully automated solution for highly accurate and comprehensive geometric analysis, verification and accuracy enhancement for measuring machines and machine tools.

The method is used worldwide in companies from industrial metrology, mechanical engineering and research.
