Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 13041-1 : 2020 ‘Test conditions for numerically controlled turning machines and turning centres - Part 1: Geometric tests for machines with horizontal work holding spindle(s)’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Machine Tools, Machine Tool Elements, and Holding Devices Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

The objective of this series of standards is to provide information as wide and comprehensive as possible on geometric, positional, contouring, thermal and machining tests which can be carried out for comparison, acceptance, maintenance or any other purpose. It includes tests for turning centres and numerically controlled turning machines with/without tailstocks standing alone or integrated in flexible manufacturing systems. It also establishes the tolerances or maximum acceptable values for the test results corresponding to general-purpose and normal-accuracy turning centres and numerically controlled turning machines.
