Machine Geometry & Alignment
• Course Duration:
5 Days
• Max.
6 Participants
• Languages:
Deutsch, Englisch, Türkisch, Französisch
In this training, participants gain in-depth knowledge of the structural design, geometric alignment, and precise adjustment of SW machining centers.
The focus lies on the analysis and optimization of machine geometry as well as hands-on alignment and measurement of key assemblies.
Participants learn to identify geometric deviations, perform measurements according to defined procedures, and carry out corrective actions independently ensuring maximum accuracy and long-term process reliability.
The objective is to improve machine precision, reduce deviations, and maintain optimal geometry to guarantee consistent machining quality and maximum availability.
Upon successful completion of this training, participants will be able to
understand the geometric structure of SW machines,
perform measurements and alignments according to defined protocols,
dentify geometric deviations and correct them effectively,
set up machine components precisely after replacement,
evaluate and document measurement results.

This geometry training provides comprehensive knowledge for measuring and aligning axis and spindle geometry. Theory and hands-on practice complement each other directly at the machine. Participants learn to identify, assess and correct geometric deviations in a structured and reproducible manner. Accompanying training materials reinforce the learning content and serve as a practical reference for later use in production.
