Machine Tool Volumetric Error Compensation

Discover how Volumetric Error Compensation (VEC) can improve the accuracy and performance of your machine tools.

API’s Active Target and Radian Pro laser tracker work together to capture the data needed for volumetric error compensation. Using Freeform point capture, the Active Target is moved throughout the machine’s working volume while the Radian Pro precisely tracks its position, collecting data that reveals positioning errors and geometric inaccuracies across the machine’s workspace.

By understanding how a machine actually performs throughout its entire working volume, manufacturers can identify and compensate for errors that may otherwise go undetected—helping improve accuracy, reduce rework, and produce more consistent parts.
