Ball-End Runout Test Arbors

Ball end test arbors are primarily used to check the positioning accuracy of 5-axis machine spindles, but also serve to verify spindle runout and provide an accurate touch-off point from the spindle face.

TAC Rockford offers two classes: Standard arbors feature a runout tolerance of less than 0.01mm (0.0004in), while Precision arbors achieve a stringent runout of less than 0.005mm (0.0002in).

HSK Taper (Standard)

Ball end spindle runout test arbors are designed checking positioning accuracy of 5-axis machines, but can also be used in place of a standard runout test bars when a shorter length is required or for a touchoff point from the spindle face (ball end is ideal for this purpose).

HSK Taper (Precision)

Our 467 precision version feature an adjustment mechanism which allows for improved accuracy when compared to our standard 466 ball arbors.

Steep Taper (Standard)

Ball end spindle runout test arbors are designed checking positioning accuracy of 5-axis machines, but can also be used in place of a standard runout test bars when a shorter length is required or for a touchoff point from the spindle face (ball end is ideal for this purpose).

Steep Taper (Precision)

Our 467 precision version feature an adjustment mechanism which allows for improved accuracy when compared to our standard 466 ball arbors.

Our 467 precision version feature an adjustment mechanism which allows for improved accuracy. * ISO 26622 runout arbor tapers are compatible with machines using TS, XMZ (Mazak Integrex), and ATC. Flange may not be suitable for use with automatic tool changers.

Dimensional Spindle Gauges

Spindle taper gauges are used to check for worn tapers on machine spindles, as well as for verification when regrinding or manufacturing spindle tapers. As with tool holders, a correctly made and non-worn taper is critical for a strong connection between spindle and tool holder. Units are available for CAT/DIN/BT taper in basic contact gauges, dial indicator gauges, as well as air gauges. For HSK, we offer dial indicator, electronic, and air gauges.

Tool Holder Gauges

Without a dimensionally correct tool holder taper, it is not possible to ensure a proper spindle/tool holder connection.

Using tool holder dimensional gauges, the taper and other key features can be checked for wear, or new holders can be checked as a part of incoming inspection. In addition, gauges are a necessity when manufacturing tool holders. Units are available for CAT/DIN/BT tapers in basic contact gauges, dial indicator gauges, as well as air gauges. For HSK, we offer dial indicator, electronic, and air gauges.

These gauges are designed to test the quality and precision of the tool holder taper of steep taper DIN, CAT/ANSI, MAS 403-BT, or ISO standards. Specific testing standards for other tapers may also be available.

While the gauges check the precise measurement of the tool holder taper, it is recommended to check the milling spindle-interface dimensions as well. For some kits, adapters can be included as a customized kit for checking both the taper and spindle dimensions.

Steep Taper Tool Holder Inspection Gauges

Available for all steep taper tool holder sizes (20, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60) The tool holder inspection gauge is designed to inspect tool holder taper diameters for wear and other potential problems. Verifying tool holder tapers are correct can help to maximize spindle life and improve part finish. Please note that the taper inspection gauge will only check diameter on two planes along with taper angle. The gauge will not detect nicks or localized damage to the taper. We recommend using series 430.110 taper sleeve gauges in conjunction with the taper inspection gauge for this purpose. The tool holder taper inspection gauge includes the Fixture Base and two Indicators (0.002mm or 0.0001 inch resolution). An optional 430.110 certified Taper Master is strongly recommended for zeroing the Indicators. If a master is not available, a knowngood tool holder can be used in place of the master.
