EMCO Maier products will remain as they are today “High End Lathes built in Europe” by EMCO companies.
Venture™ Quality
Quality assurance follows each individual part from production through subsequent installation. Static and operational testing are conducted as each component subassembly is added to the main assembly, providing a paper trail of over 300 inspections and/or certifications through the entire assembly process and final testing. Every machine receives the following tests during the final evaluation/certification process.
- 100% Renishaw Ball Bar Tested
- 100% Laser Calibration
- 100% Spindle Dynamic Balance and Thermal Tested
Renishaw Ball Bar Testing
A state-of-the-art Ball Bar System from Renishaw is used to check not only linear accuracy, but also machine geometry. This ensures the three-dimensional squareness and accuracy of every machine. This operational test is done with a bar that tracks machine movement to ± 0.5 micron and has 0.1-micron resolution. The machine is put through a series of circular moves in the X/Y plane to certify synchronous movement, and a series of half-circle moves in X/Z and Y/Z planes to verify squareness.
Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) data from the bar is fed into a computer which outputs a chart illustrating machine accuracy. Any deviations in squareness or length show up on the graph as distorted circles that are very easy for a technician to spot. A copy of this chart is included with each Venture™ machine tool as our assurance that your machine is accurate and properly aligned.
