Milling operations
Milling is a machining operation, which consists of removing material by means of a rotary tool called a “milling cutter” of which there are several different types
The usual operations of milling can be divided into three categories:
slab milling operations (see Figure 3);
face milling operations (see Figure 4);
end milling operations (see Figure 5)
Figure 3 — Slab milling operation Figure 4 — Face milling operation
Description of machines
In milling machines with table of variable height with horizontal spindle, the base-plate is rigidly fixed to the column (see Figures 1 and 2)
In this type of machine, the cutting movement is given by the spindle, the axis of which is horizontal
The feed movements are as follows: a) Milling machine with horizontal spindle (see Figure 1)
The X axis of motion constitutes the longitudinal movement of the table
ISO 1701-1:2004(E) © ISO 2004 – All rights reserved 5
The Y axis of motion constitutes the vertical movement of the table
The Z axis of motion runs parallel to the spindle axis, enabling the transverse movement of the table for precise machining tasks Additionally, milling machines can feature a movable head with either a horizontal or vertical spindle axis, providing versatility for different machining operations.
The X axis of motion constitutes the longitudinal movement of the table
The Y axis of motion constitutes the transverse movement of the table
The Z axis of motion constitutes the vertical movement of the table
NOTE All these feed movements may be carried out by a rapid traverse of the element in question
Measuring units
In ISO 1701, all linear dimensions, deviations, and tolerances are specified in millimeters, ensuring precise measurement standards Angular dimensions are expressed in degrees, with angular deviations and tolerances typically presented as ratios; however, microradians or arcseconds may be used in certain cases for clarity It is essential to remember that the different expressions for dimensions and deviations are equivalent and interchangeable within the standard.
Testing sequence
The sequence of tests outlined in ISO 1701 does not specify a mandatory order for conducting them To facilitate easier installation of instruments or gauges, tests can be performed in any sequence, providing flexibility in the testing process.
Tests to be performed
When testing a machine, it is not always necessary or possible to perform all tests outlined in ISO 1701 For acceptance testing, the user and manufacturer should agree on specific tests relevant to the machine’s components and properties, which must be clearly specified when placing an order Merely referencing ISO 1701 for acceptance tests without identifying specific tests or agreeing on the associated costs is not binding for either party.
Measuring instruments
The measuring instruments referenced in Clauses 5 and 6 are examples; other devices capable of measuring the same quantities with equal or greater accuracy can be used Dial gauges should have a resolution of 0.001 mm or better to ensure precise measurement accuracy.
Copyright International Organization for Standardization
Machining tests
Machining tests shall be made with finishing cuts only, not with roughing cuts which are liable to generate appreciable cutting forces.
Minimum tolerance
When establishing the tolerance for a geometric test on a measuring length different from that specified in ISO 1701 (refer to 2.311 of ISO 230-1:1996), it is important to note that the minimum permissible tolerance value is 0.005 mm.

Axes of motion
Assessing the straightness of the knee's vertical movement along the Y axis involves verifying its accuracy in the vertical plane of symmetry (YZ plane) and the perpendicular plane (XY plane) Ensuring precise vertical motion in these planes is crucial for optimal machine performance and accuracy Regular checks of the knee's straightness in both the YZ and XY planes help maintain alignment and prevent machining errors This process is essential for quality control and maintaining the integrity of vertical movements within the machine.
For a) and b) 0,02 for any measuring length of 300
Observations and references to ISO 230-1:1996 5.232.11
Instead of a straightedge, use the vertical arm of the square
Adjust the square to obtain similar readings at both ends of its measuring length so that straightness deviation can be calculated as the maximum difference of dial gauge readings
Table in central position: a) saddle (Z axis) locked; b) table (X axis) locked
For accurate measurements, the dial gauge should be mounted on the spindle if it can be locked; this ensures stability during inspection However, if the spindle cannot be locked, the dial gauge must be positioned on a fixed part of the machine to maintain measurement precision Proper placement of the dial gauge is essential for reliable and accurate machine tool inspection.

Checking of squareness between the transverse cross-slide movement (Z axis) and the longitudinal table movement (X axis)
Straightedge, dial gauge and square
Observations and references to ISO 230-1:1996 5.522.4
To ensure accurate measurement, the knee (Y axis) must be locked securely Begin by setting the straightedge parallel to the table's longitudinal movement (X axis), then position a square against the straightedge and lock the table in the central position This test can also be performed without the straightedge by aligning the long arm of the square parallel to the X axis Subsequently, verify the saddle movement (Z axis) to ensure proper functionality and precision of the machine.
When the spindle can be locked, the dial gauge can be mounted directly on it for accurate measurements However, if the spindle cannot be locked, the dial gauge should be positioned on a fixed part of the machine to ensure precise readings Proper placement of the dial gauge is essential for reliable measurement accuracy.

The angular deviation of the table during its longitudinal movement (X axis) is evaluated by checking two key aspects: first, the roll (EAX) in the vertical YZ plane, which is perpendicular to the table's movement, and second, the pitch (ECX) in the vertical XY plane, which is parallel to the table's movement.
Tolerance a) 0,04/1 000 (or 40 àrad or 8") b) X u 1 000 0,08/1 000 (or 80 àrad or 16")
Observations and references to ISO 230-1:1996 5.232.2
These tests should only be performed when the knee (Y axis) is clamped on the column
The level shall be placed in the centre of the table: a) transversely; b) longitudinally
Measurements are taken at several positions, moving the table by 200 mm or 250 mm steps
When the X-axis motion results in an angular movement of both the spindle head and the work-holding table, it is essential to perform differential measurements of these two angular movements These measurements should be accurately recorded and clearly documented to ensure precise analysis of the system's motion behavior Proper differential measurement procedures help identify any discrepancies between the spindle head and table movements, improving overall machine accuracy and performance.
The reference level shall be located on the column
The difference between the maximum and minimum readings (excluding the above angular contribution) of both directions of movement shall not exceed the tolerance

Ensure the squareness between the table surface and the vertical movement along the Y axis by conducting checks at three key positions: the midpoint and near the travel extremities These assessments should be performed in two critical planes—first, in the vertical plane of symmetry (YZ plane), and second, in the plane perpendicular to it (XY plane)—to verify precise alignment and optimal machine accuracy.
