Machine-tool Error Reduction System
Are your machines imperfect, but repeatable? Do you fine-tune your CNC machine-tool programs by adding or subtracting a few
thousandths of an inch to the programmed coordinates?
Now you can have this done for you automatically, reliably, and consistently with ShadowMap CL. With an independent 3D volumetric
laser measurement matrix, your computer can quickly adjust every part program to reduce the errors of every machine, in seconds.
Key Benefits
Reliable, documented process
3-axis and 5-axis supported
NIST traceable calibrations
ShadowMap CL reads industry standard APT CL machining programs, along with the error map of the machine to run the program, and then
a new APT CL program is created with all of the coordinates adjusted correctly. Use your existing post-processors and communications
methods.
Errors exist in every machine, even fresh from the assembly line. Twenty-one different errors are associated with 3-axis machines.
Simple linear calibration and correction is not enough to ensure accuracy. Here are charts that show the results from a twenty year
old machine.
