On the Ball

A Haas UMC-750 undergoes a ballbar test during final assembly at the Haas manufacturing facility in Oxnard, CA. Haas uses a state-of-the-art ballbar test to check the linear positioning and geometry of every machine. The ultra-precise ballbar tracks movement as the machine is put through a series of circular moves to certify synchronous movement and verify machine geometry. This generates a chart illustrating machine condition and performance data. Any deviations in geometry or position show up as distorted circles that are very easy to spot. A copy of this chart ships with each Haas machine as assurance that it is accurate and properly aligned.
