What is BS 4656-3 - Knee, and column type milling machines about?
BS 4656 is a British standard that discusses the accuracy of machine tools and methods of tests. BS 4656-3 is the third part of the multi-part series that outlines the requirements for the accuracy of knee and column type plain milling machines with horizontal or vertical spindle by establishing permissible deviations from certain essential dimensional and geometrical characteristics, and by prescribing, reference to BS 3800, the details of the tests to be carried out to verify compliance with these requirements for machines in general use and of normal precision and ensure that the minimum quality standards for milling machines, Knee, and column type, horizontal or vertical spindle plain are achieved.
BS 4656-3 deals only with the verification of accuracy.
Note: BS 4656-3 does not apply to the testing of the running of the machine (vibrations, abnormal noises, the stick-slip motion of components, etc.), nor to machine characteristics (speeds, feeds, etc.) which should generally be checked before testing accuracy.
