ETG will design and implement a machining process that will allow you to work faster, more efficiently and at lower operational costs.

We can create a process strategy that factors in clamping positions/axes, machine-tool compatibility, cutting tools, loading, automation and of course, the operator.

CAPABILITY ETG can provide a complete turnkey solution to match your production requirements whilst enhancing cycle times and component quality.

This capability is achieved through feasibility studies and collaborative working to determine the optimal tool-selection, automation, software, CNC programming, collision checking, measuring and prototype testing.

OUR TRUSTED PRINCIPALS

IMPLEMENTATION Once ETG has fully tested the turnkey concept, we will implement and deliver the machining cell, on schedule and to budget.

Training will be delivered on-site or at the ETG headquarters in Wellesbourne.

OUR TRUSTED ASSOCIATES

AFTERCARE Once your turnkey solution has been delivered, ETG will remain your trusted partner. ETG will deliver comprehensive aftercare as well as service and scheduled maintenance support from our large team of skilled service engineers.

All this is underpinned by an in-house facility that is stocked with OEM spare parts, keeping your machines running smoothly and efficiently.

BALLBAR TEST REPORTING:

LASER MEASURING:

DIGITAL LEVELLING:

Ballbar testing offers benefits in machine performance and operation. It will also provide a simple, rapid check of a CNC machine tool’s positioning performance to recognised international standards (e.g., ISO, ANSI/ASME, etc).

A laser interferometer offers the ultimate in high performance measurement and calibration for motion systems, including CMM’s and machine tools.

ETG offers digital levelling for your CNC machine, this procedure is extremelly accurate and ensures your machine tool runs optimally.

ETG’s engineers utilise only the best calibration lasers. Renown

This allows users to benchmark and track the condition of their machines, and to quickly diagnose problems that may require maintenance. It also identifies the error sources that produce them.

Benefits of regular ballbar testing of CNC machine tools: // Ensure accurate parts, first time // Reduce down-time // Reduced inspection costs // Demonstrate compliance with machine performance and quality IIIIImanagement standards // Implement fact based predictive maintenance // Reduced material wastage // Reduced production time with fewer rejected parts // Improved machine accuracy // More profit for your business // Improved customer confidence // Less operator and managerial stress
