Dear Applications:
Why do CNC machines need to be calibrated?
Dear
All Haas machines are fully inspected for linear accuracy and three-dimensional squareness prior to shipping.
CNC machines, like all types of equipment, are subject to change over time. The thing most likely to change with a machine tool, and most likely to affect accuracy, is the machine’s level. The quality of a machine’s level is crucial to the quality of the parts produced. For this reason, checking a machine’s level should be part of a regularly scheduled preventive maintenance program that is appropriate to the machine and its operating environment.
Sincerely,
Haas Applications

My question is this: Do I need a yearly calibration if I am using my machine just for prototyping and Never crashed it.........YET !!!
I check the spindle run-out and linear accuracy if I am not busy....
I need some input regarding this matter.
Thanks,
