Linear Scales Improve Lathe Accuracy

摘要

To address these difficulties, the shop turned to [Elliot-Matsuura Canada] Canada, which provides sales and service to high-tech machining industries. "We wanted to not only increase the accuracy of TRWs lathes, but also take the thermal growth of the ballscrew out of the machines' equation," says Jim Earl, senior CNC service engineer at Elliot. "I knew that upgrading to Heidenhain linear scales would fix them right up by serving as a reliable direct-measurement source, because they compensate...
