^EBH®ballbar The telescopic Ballbar quickly checks contouring accuracy of a machine axis to diagnose servo errors and path deviations. Measured deviations are displayed in a polar plot format. Simple setup, straightforward operation, automatic error identification, and intuitive analysis make the API Ballbar the perfect solution for machine tool performance monitoring. Larger machine tools are accommodated with telescopic extensions up to 1.5 meters in radius. API offers a comprehensive suite of Machine Tool Calibration (MTC) products and has pioneered the development of machine-tool geometry...

SWIVELCHECK The SWIVELCHECK instrument measures and calibrates machine tool rotary axes, swivel axes, tilt tables, and pendulum axes. SWIVELCHECK utilizes a servo-driven motor in conjunction with an electronic level and precision rotary encoder to measure multiple parameters in a single setup. Mounting can be off-center of the rotating axis to measure swivel axes and trunnions without disassembling critical machine-tool components. SWIVELCHECK can operate in automated or manual modes and includes software for control, data acquisition, and reporting. Used in conjunction with the API XD Laser,...
