Full title and description

Acceptance conditions for general purpose parallel lathes — Testing of the accuracy. This International Standard specifies tests and acceptance criteria used to verify the geometric and practical accuracy of general-purpose parallel lathes, and gives permissible deviations for those tests.

Abstract

ISO 1708:1989 (4th edition) defines a set of geometric and practical tests, together with permissible deviations, to be applied when accepting general-purpose parallel lathes. The standard is limited to verification of accuracy (alignment, straightness, run-out, parallelism, etc.) and explicitly excludes dynamic running tests (vibration, abnormal noise, stick–slip) and routine checks of machine characteristics such as speeds and feeds.

General information

• Status: Published (confirmed; edition in force as ISO 1708:1989).
• Publication date: 1989 (issued October/November 1989; officially recorded as 1989-11 / edition 4 published 1989).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 25.080.10 — Lathes.
• Edition / version: Edition 4 (1989).
• Number of pages: 13 pages.

Scope

Specifies, with reference to ISO 230-1, both geometrical and practical acceptance tests for general-purpose parallel lathes and the permissible deviations that apply. The standard is concerned only with verifying the accuracy of the machine and does not apply to testing of dynamic running behavior (vibration, abnormal noises, stick–slip) or to routine checks of machine characteristics such as speeds and feeds, which are normally verified before accuracy tests are performed.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of geometrical tests for lathe accuracy (alignment, straightness, parallelism, concentricity/run-out, angular error, etc.).
• Practical acceptance tests and procedures for on-site verification of lathe components and assemblies.
• Permissible deviations and acceptance criteria for the specified tests.
• Reference and cross‑reference to ISO 230-1 (geometric accuracy of machine tools) as normative guidance for test methods and measurement conditions.
• Exclusions and limits: excludes dynamic running tests and checks of operational characteristics (speeds, feeds, vibration, noise, stick–slip).

Typical use and users

Used by machine-tool manufacturers, quality and acceptance inspectors, test laboratories, factory acceptance teams, procurement and engineering departments specifying acceptance criteria for new or repaired general-purpose parallel lathes, and national standards bodies adapting ISO requirements into national publications.

Related standards

Primary normative reference: ISO 230-1 (Acceptance code for machine tools — Part 1: Geometric accuracy of machines operating under no-load or finishing conditions). ISO 1708 is produced by ISO/TC 39/SC 2 (test conditions for metal-cutting machine tools) and has national adoptions (for example NF ISO 1708 as a national publication). Users commonly consult other parts of the ISO 230 series for broader machine-tool test methods.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 1708:1989 is an International Standard titled "Acceptance conditions for general purpose parallel lathes — Testing of the accuracy" that specifies acceptance tests and permissible deviations for verifying the accuracy of general-purpose parallel lathes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers geometrical and practical tests to check lathe accuracy (alignment, straightness, parallelism, run-out, etc.), the procedures for performing those tests, and the permissible deviations for acceptance. It does not cover dynamic running tests or checks of speeds and feeds.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Machine-tool manufacturers, factory acceptance and quality inspectors, independent test laboratories, purchasing/specification engineers, and standards bodies or committees responsible for machine-tool testing and acceptance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1989 edition (Edition 4) is recorded as ISO 1708:1989. ISO records show this edition published in 1989 and carried forward in the ISO lifecycle (confirmed during subsequent systematic reviews). Users should check with ISO or their national standards body for the very latest status or any more recent revisions or replacements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is related to the ISO 230 series on machine-tool testing and is produced under the work of ISO/TC 39/SC 2 (test conditions for metal-cutting machine tools). ISO 230-1 is a primary normative reference for geometric accuracy tests.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Acceptance conditions; parallel lathes; testing of accuracy; permissible deviations; machine-tool acceptance; geometric tests; ISO 1708:1989; ISO 230-1.
