5. check the accuracy of the DRO system 1 Place the target of the laser or the needle of the dial indicator directly on the Newall reader head It is absolutely critical that you take the readings directly from the Newall reader head If you have to use a dial indicator be sure that the needle of the indicator is perpendicular to the reader head and not angled If you take readings anywhere else on the machine machine errors may distort the results 2 When the reader head moves the movement registers on the laser indicator and DRO display 3 Set the laser dial indicator and DRO position displays to 0 4 Make a series of movements and compare the position readings between the laser dial indicator and the DRO display If the readings match within the accuracy specified then you know that the DRO sys tem is operating properly If this is the case you can proceed to the next step evaluating the machine errors If the readings do not match you must repair the DRO system before proceeding with error com pensation To evaluate machine errors 1 Put the laser target dial indicator on the part of the machine where the machining is done 2 Make a series of movements and compare the position readings between the laser dial indicator and the DRO display The difference between the laser dial indicator reading and the reading on the DRO display is your machine error 3 Plot the machine error along the entire axis of travel to deter
