So we use a system 3r base with a custom fixture for one of our parts. It is titanium with a .1575 bore in it already. We place a pin thru this bore and using a test dial indicator very carefully touch off on the alignment pin above and below the part to vertically align the bore with the machine z-axis. Time consume and prone to errors if you move the wrong way etc.
Does anyone know of a better way to do a vertical alignment of an existing bore hole?
After alignment we proceed to enlarging the bore to .159-.161 depending on internal finish, and cut multiple slots also from the inside of the bore hole.
Our machine is a Sodick AG600L with LN2W control.
