Alignment tolerances
The tolerances to which a tool can be set are
dependent on the parallelism of the laser beam
to the machine axes.
Tool setting applications
Over a span of 100 mm (3.94 in), the following
alignment accuracies are easily achievable:
Spindle axis (P2 – P1) = ≤10 µm (0.39 µin)
Radial axis (P2 – P1) = ≤1 mm (0.39 in).
These values are sufficient for the majority of
tool setting applications.
Tool breakage detection applications
Over a span of 100 mm (3.94 in), the following
alignment accuracies are easily achievable:
Spindle axis (P2 – P1) = ≤0.2 mm (0.0079 in)
Radial axis (P2 – P1) = ≤1 mm (0.39 in).
These values are sufficient for the majority of
tool breakage applications.
