This document specifies, with reference to ISO 230‑1, the geometric tests on vertical internal type broaching machines with vertical Z-axis providing the main cutting motion.

This document also specifies the applicable tolerances corresponding to the tests mentioned above for normal-accuracy vertical internal type broaching machines.

This document explains the concepts, configurations and common features of vertical internal type broaching machines. This document also provides related terminology and designation of axes.

This document covers only the verification of the accuracy of the broaching machine. This document does not apply to the operational testing of the machine (e.g. vibration, abnormal noise, stick-slip motion of components) nor to machine characteristics (e.g. speeds, feeds) as such checks are generally carried out before testing the accuracy.
