1.5.3 Measuring accuracy
1.5.3 Measuring accuracy
The repeat accuracy of SINUMERIK controls for in-process measurement is ±1 µm.
The attainable measuring accuracy therefore depends on the following factors:
• Repeat accuracy of machine
• Repeat accuracy of probe
• Resolution of measuring system
To give an example, the following series of measurements have been carried out on a turning
machine:
