Calibration Scope

What We Measure and Correct

Ball Bar Testing

Circular interpolation testing to identify servo mismatch, backlash, stick-slip, and geometric error. Results plotted and compared to spec.

Accuracy Adjustments

Geometric corrections including squareness, parallelism, and straightness adjustments. We go beyond software compensation when hardware correction is needed.

Backlash Compensation

Measurement and correction of axis backlash in the CNC control, with verification testing after.

Post-Repair Verification

After any major repair, calibration confirms the machine is back to spec. We don't close a job without accuracy sign-off.

Documentation & Reporting

Every calibration produces a written report with before-and-after measurements. Useful for quality audits, customer requirements, and machine history.
