BS 4656-35:1987

This standard BS 4656-35:1987 Accuracy of machine tools and methods of test is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.080.10 Lathes

This part of ISO 6155 describes, with reference to ISO 230-1, both geometrical and practical tests on general purpose and normal accuracy capstan, turret and single spindle automatic lathes. It deals only with the checking of accuracy of the machine. It does not apply to the testing of the running of the machine (vibrations, abnormal noises, stick-slip motion of components, etc.) or to machine characteristics (such as speeds, feeds, etc.) which should generally be checked before the accuracy is tested.

This part of ISO 6155 does not cover machines with contouring numerical control, machines with sliding headstocks, machines with rotating tools, nor single spindle automatic lathes with fixed combined system headstock.

Accuracy requirements and geometrical tests with reference to BS 3800.
