ISO 11090-2:1998 Historical

This part of ISO 11090 specifies, with reference to ISO 230-1 and ISO 230-2, geometric and machining tests and tests for checking accuracy and repeatability of numerically controlled positioning axes for general purpose and normal accuracy die sinking electro-discharge machines (EDM). It also specifies the applicable tolerances, corresponding to the above-mentioned tests.

This part of ISO 11090 is applicable to two column machines of slide-head type and cross-slide table type.

This part of ISO 11090 deals only with the verification of accuracy of the machine. It does not apply to the testing of the machine operation (vibrations, abnormal noises, stick-slip motion of components, etc.), nor to the checking of its characteristics (such as speeds, feeds, etc.), which should generally be checked before the testing of the accuracy.

This part of ISO 11090 provides the terminology used for the principal components of the machine and the designation of the axes with reference to ISO 841^[1].
