Why Volumetric Machine Tool Compensation (VCS)?

Volumetric error measurement accounts for 21 errors in 3-axis systems, including positioning, straightness, pitch, yaw, roll, and squareness. AfM Technology can capture, evaluate, and correct these errors using modern tech. Installing a VCS file on the controller can improve accuracy up to 85% compared to "as found".

Benefits

  • Up to 85% higher accuracy at the machine geometry
  • Identification of mechanical vulnerabilities
  • Tighter tolerances possible
