What are the methods for detecting the positioning accuracy of CNC machine tools?

Several methods can be used to detect the positioning accuracy of CNC machine tools. The Laser Interferometry method measures linear positioning using a laser as a reference point. Ballbar Testing assesses overall accuracy by comparing actual and theoretical positions. Dial indicators can measure minor deviations in positioning. Additionally, a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) can test the geometric accuracy of the machine’s movements.
