Full title and description

St ISO 13041-6:2009 — Test conditions for numerically controlled turning machines and turning centres — Part 6: Accuracy of a finished test piece. This part specifies a series of finishing cutting tests and the required test-piece characteristics and dimensions used to assess the cutting accuracy of CNC turning machines and turning centres.

Abstract

ISO 13041-6:2009, with reference to ISO 230-1, defines finishing-condition cutting tests of standard test pieces and specifies the characteristics and dimensional requirements of those test pieces. It provides minimum requirements for assessing the machining (cutting) accuracy of numerically controlled lathes and turning centres.

Scope

This part of ISO 13041 specifies, with reference to ISO 230-1, a set of standard finishing cutting tests and the form, dimensions and tolerances of the standard test pieces used for those tests. It is intended to supply minimum, repeatable requirements and procedures for assessing the cutting accuracy (surface and dimensional accuracy of finished test pieces) of numerically controlled turning machines and turning centres. The document is focused on finishing conditions rather than roughing tests and is used to evaluate machine performance under typical finishing machining parameters.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and drawings of the standard finished test piece(s) (form, critical dimensions and tolerances).
• Reference to ISO 230-1 for measurement and test conditions; harmonisation with existing machine-tool test codes.
• Specified finishing cutting tests (cutting conditions, tool paths and sequences) to produce the test piece.
• Measurement procedures for assessing dimensional and surface accuracy of the finished test piece.
• Minimum reporting requirements and documentation of test conditions (machine settings, tooling, environmental conditions).
• Acceptance / comparison criteria to judge machine cutting accuracy (minimum requirements rather than prescriptive limits for every application).

Typical use and users

ISO 13041-6:2009 is used by machine-tool manufacturers, quality and test laboratories, machine-tool purchasers, OEMs and integrators, and research and development groups to validate the finishing accuracy of CNC turning machines and turning centres. It supports factory acceptance testing, comparative performance assessments, and routine verification of machine capability for finishing operations.

Related standards

Key related documents include ISO 230-1 (general test code and conditions for machine tools — geometric tests) and other parts of the ISO 13041 series (geometric and performance tests for turning machines). Several national standards adopt or adapt ISO 13041-6:2009 (for example GB/T and various national adoptions), so users should check applicable national implementations and related ISO test codes when planning verification programmes.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 13041-6:2009 is Part 6 of the ISO 13041 series and provides test conditions and the specification of standard finished test pieces used to assess the cutting accuracy of numerically controlled turning machines and turning centres.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers finishing-condition cutting tests, the physical characteristics and dimensions of the standard test piece(s), measurement procedures for finished-piece accuracy, and minimum reporting requirements for assessing machine cutting performance.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine-tool manufacturers, test laboratories, quality engineers, machine purchasers, OEMs, and research groups use it to verify and compare finishing accuracy of CNC turning machines and turning centres.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2009 edition (Edition 2) replaced the 2005 edition.
