What is a reasonable Z and X linear accuracy and repeatability specification to ask for?
I've been tasked with finding a rebuilder for a large horizontal lathe. 1400mm X 9000mm (55 inch swing, 35 feet of ways).
Machine is a Gurutzpe B1800/3.
I'm writing a request for proposal to machine rebuilders and the lathe doesn't have any specs on linear accuracy, but I'm asking for a different drive system for Z to replace the single pinion rack. Possibly a dual pinion or rotating nut ball screw. Scale feedback.
