QC20-W Ball Rod Instrument System
Renishaw golf club has dominated the market for nearly 20 years, and now with the QC20-W wireless golf club system, it still holds a leading position in the market.What is Renishaw golf club testing?
The Renishaw QC20-W ballbar system includes:
The golf club instrument body (essentially a high-precision telescopic linear sensor with a precision ball at each end) has two precision magnetic bowl seats, one connected to the machine tool worktable and the other connected to the machine tool spindle or spindle box.
In use, the precision ball of the sensor is fixed to the magnetic ball bowl in a three-point mechanical positioning manner. When the machine tool travels along a predetermined circular trajectory around the center seat on the worktable, this installation method allows the ball bar gauge to measure small changes in the radius of the machine tool.
The collected data is sent to a computer, and Renishaw's software calculates the overall measurement value of positioning accuracy (roundness, roundness deviation) based on international standards such as ISO 230-4, ASME B5.54, or Renishaw's own analysis report. This report uses a unique mathematical analysis method to diagnose numerous additional individual machine tool errors through a set of linear readings. The data is displayed in both graphical and numerical formats to assist and support fault diagnosis.
Advantages of Ball Bar Testing
Ball bar testing is a simple and fast way to test the positioning performance of CNC machine tools according to recognized international standards (such as ISO, ANSI/ASME, etc.), allowing users to benchmark and track the performance of the machine tool, and quickly diagnose the problems that exist in the machine tool and the sources of error that cause these problems.
Regular ball bar testing of machine tools can help:
Ensure that CNC machine tools can process all parts in one go
Reduce machine downtime, lower scrap rates, and lower testing costs
Display whether the machine tool meets the performance and quality management standards of the machine tool
Implement preventive maintenance plans based on actual situations
