More machine checking performance with NC-Checker 2013r3

NC-Checker's simple benchmark report shows a machine is good to go. One of the main advantages of this is the archive benchmark, which shows Ppk values over time. Is there a progressive performance drift? NC-Checker enables your operators to run day to day checks, giving you confidence in your machine tool. Is it as good today as it was yesterday? NC-Checker's benchmark report proves this. Checking your machine's capability on a regular basis will save you time and money by: [] enabling you to plan your maintenance (to avoid expensive emergency failures) [] compare machines against each other (reducing the risk of part to part variation) [] have confidence in your 5-axis probing system (if your probe is not accurately calibrated – you can achieve results worse than manual methods) [] servicing machine check (compare your machine before and after servicing - did the service improve it?) Director Peter Hammond explains: 'Some companies think their problems are with part alignment and part set-up, but the reality is – it can be as simple as their machine tool set-up. Most 5-axis machine tool owners are unaware of problems with their machine set-up and it's difficult and time-consuming for them to diagnose – our system can reduce their downtime by helping them find errors quickly and plan maintenance to solve them.'
