Volumetric Compensation of a Machine Tool

Why Volumetric Machine Tool Compensation (VCS)?

Volumetric error measurement accounts for 21 errors in 3-axis systems, including positioning, straightness, pitch, yaw, roll, and squareness. AfM Technology can capture, evaluate, and correct these errors using modern technologies.

By installing a VCS file on the controller, machine accuracy can be improved by up to 85% compared to the “as found” condition.

Benefits

• Up to 85% higher accuracy at the machine geometry
• Identification of mechanical vulnerabilities
• Tighter tolerances possible
