QC10 ballbar accessories

QC10 accessoriesThe QC10 ballbar system can be enhanced by including one of a number of accessories. These allow you to extend the scope of your ballbar test or allow testing of machines other than standard machining centres.

Calibrators

CalibratorThe use of this calibrated artefact, made of patented material that exhibits negligible thermal expansion, allows the QC10 to be calibrated before use and absolute measurements to be taken.  For example, you can determine scale error on an axis rather than just scale mismatch between axes.
