Full title and description

ISO 10791-3:1998/Cor 1:1999 — Test conditions for machining centres — Part 3: Geometric tests for machines with integral indexable or continuous universal heads (vertical Z-axis) — Technical Corrigendum 1. This corrigendum contains technical corrections and editorial amendments that apply to the published ISO 10791-3:1998 edition.

Abstract

This document is a technical corrigendum (Corrigendum 1, 1999) to ISO 10791-3:1998. ISO 10791-3 specifies, with reference to ISO 230-1, the geometric test methods used to verify the accuracy of machining centres fitted with integral indexable or continuous universal heads (vertical Z-axis). The corrigendum provides corrections to the original text, figures and/or numerical values so that the test procedures and reporting are unambiguous and consistent with the rest of the ISO 10791 series.

General information

• Status: Published (technical corrigendum to ISO 10791-3:1998).
• Publication date: 11 November 1999 (Corrigendum 1).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 25.040.10 (Machining centres / machine tools).
• Edition / version: Edition 1, Technical Corrigendum 1 (1999) — applies to ISO 10791-3:1998.
• Number of pages: 3 (corrigendum document).

Scope

This corrigendum amends ISO 10791-3:1998, which covers geometric tests for machining centres equipped with integral indexable or continuous universal heads (vertical Z-axis). The original part addresses tests for spindle axis geometry, squareness, straightness, rotary axes (head/table), and specific annex test sequences for different head types. The corrigendum corrects identified errors or clarifications so test setups, measurement points and reporting match the intended procedures of the part.

Key topics and requirements

• Correction of editorial and technical errors in test descriptions and figures to ensure unambiguous execution of geometric tests.
• Clarifications to measurement procedures for axis straightness and squareness relevant to universal head configurations.
• Adjustments or clarifications to indexing/rotary-axis test instructions for integral indexable and continuous heads.
• Preservation of the original scope: verification of machine geometric accuracy (not dynamic performance or process-dependent finishing tests).
• Requirement to reference ISO 230‑1 for general test-code principles and conditions.

Typical use and users

Used by machine-tool manufacturers, acceptance-test laboratories, metrology and quality engineers, testing bodies and standards committees for implementing and interpreting the geometric test procedures of ISO 10791-3:1998. The corrigendum is applied when conducting or reporting tests specified in the Part 3 document to ensure accurate, reproducible results.

Related standards

ISO 10791 is a multi-part series on test conditions for machining centres; related items include other parts of ISO 10791 (e.g., ISO 10791-1 and later parts) and the ISO 230 series (test codes for machine tools), which ISO 10791 references for general measurement principles. For example, ISO 10791-1 and other parts provide complementary test methods for different spindle/head orientations and performance aspects.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO 10791-3:1998 — a short (3-page) corrigendum published in November 1999 that corrects and clarifies parts of the ISO 10791-3:1998 geometric-test document.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The corrigendum amends the original Part 3 text and figures so that geometric test procedures for machining centres with integral indexable or continuous universal heads (vertical Z-axis) are clear and consistent with the ISO 10791 series and ISO 230 principles. It does not add new test types beyond those covered in the 1998 edition.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine-tool manufacturers, test laboratories, acceptance and commissioning engineers, metrology specialists and standards bodies who perform or interpret the ISO 10791-3 geometric tests use the corrigendum to ensure correct implementation of the published procedures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum was published in November 1999 and applies to the 1998 edition of ISO 10791-3. According to ISO’s publication records, the ISO 10791-3:1998 edition (with its corrigendum) has been maintained in the ISO catalogue; the base part was published in December 1998 (48 pages) and the corrigendum is a separate 3-page document. Users should consult the ISO catalogue or national standards body for the latest status or any subsequent revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 3 of the ISO 10791 series (Test conditions for machining centres). The series contains multiple parts addressing geometric tests, thermal tests and other evaluation methods for different machine configurations; ISO 230 is also referenced for general test-code rules.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Machining centres, geometric tests, universal head, indexable head, corrigendum, ISO 10791-3, vertical Z-axis, test conditions.
