Ballbar accessories

Extend your ballbar’s capability. The QC10 ballbar is an extremely versatile tool designed to be used on a large variety of machines. The standard system can be used to test 3-axis CNC machines such as horizontal and vertical machining centres, etc. With the addition of other accessories detailed below, the QC10 ballbar can also be used to test a much wider range of machine types.For 2-axis CNC applications, a special retractable centre mount, the VTL adaptor, is used. This enables typical 2-axis machines (such as pick and place machines, laser cutting machines and vertical turning lathes etc.) to benefit from QC10 ballbar diagnosis. The 360° lathe adaptor enables the QC10 ballbar to be used on a wide range of CNC lathes. As with machining centres, it allows a full diagnosis of lathe capabilities to be performed. It can also be used for Z-axis testing on machining centres.To address smaller machines, the small circle accessory kit allows testing of CNC machines with shorter axis travel. Additionally, it can help to give an enhanced analysis of servo control systems on most types of machines. 360° lathe adaptor kitSmall circle accessory kitVTL adaptor Get the whole story The Renishaw QC10 is so useful and powerful that you will want to learn more about it.
