2BTest, Inspection and Production Equipment

Technical Notes:

• 1.

Secondary parallel contouring axes, (e.g., the w-axis on horizontal boring mills or a secondary rotary axis the centre line of which is parallel to the primary rotary axis) are not counted in the total number of contouring axes. Rotary axes need not rotate over 360^o. A rotary axis can be driven by a linear device (e.g., a screw or a rack-and-pinion).

• 2.

For the purposes of 2B, the number of axes which can be coordinated simultaneously for ‘contouring control’ is the number of axes along or around which, during processing of the workpiece, simultaneous and interrelated motions are performed between the workpiece and a tool. This does not include any additional axes along or around which other relative movement within the machine are performed such as:

• a. Wheel-dressing systems in grinding machines;

• b. Parallel rotary axes designed for mounting of separate workpieces;

• c. Co-linear rotary axes designed for manipulating the same workpiece by holding it in a chuck from different ends.

• 3.

Axis nomenclature shall be in accordance with International Standard ISO 841:2001, Industrial automation systems and integration – Numerical control of machines – Coordinate system and motion nomenclature.

• 4.

For the purposes of 2B001 to 2B009 a ‘tilting spindle’ is counted as a rotary axis.

• 5.

‘Stated “unidirectional positioning repeatability” ’ may be used for each machine tool model as an alternative to individual machine tests and is determined as follows:

• a. Select five machines of a model to be evaluated;

• b. Measure the linear axis repeatability (R↑,R↓) according to ISO 230-2:2014 and evaluate ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’ for each axis of each of the five machines;

• c. Determine the arithmetic mean value of the ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’-values for each axis of all five machines together. These arithmetic mean values of ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’ (

Image omitted; see official source ) become the stated value of each axis for the model (

Image omitted; see official source ,

Image omitted; see official source …);

• d. Since the Category 2 list refers to each linear axis there will be as many ‘stated ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’ values as there are linear axes;

• e. If any axis of a machine model not specified in 2B001.a. to 2B001.c. has a ‘stated ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’ equal to or less than the specified ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’ of each machine tool model plus 0,7 μm, the builder should be required to reaffirm the accuracy level once every eighteen months.

- 6.

For the purposes of 2B001.a. to 2B001.c., measurement uncertainty for the ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’ of machine tools, as defined in the International Standard ISO 230-2:2014 or national equivalents, shall not be considered.

• 7.

For the purpose of 2B001.a. to 2B001.c., the measurement of axes shall be made according to test procedures in 5.3.2. of ISO 230-2:2014. Tests for axes longer than 2 meters shall be made over 2 m segments. Axes longer than 4 m require multiple tests (e.g., two tests for axes longer than 4 m and up to 8 m, three tests for axes longer than 8 m and up to 12 m), each over 2 m segments and distributed in equal intervals over the axis length. Test segments are equally spaced along the full axis length, with any excess length equally divided at the beginning, in between, and at the end of the test segments. The smallest ‘unidirectional positioning repeatability’-value of all test segments is to be reported.
