ISO 7946-1985 PDF

Full title and description

St ISO 7946-1985 — Woodworking machines — Slot mortising machines — Nomenclature and acceptance conditions. This international standard defines the names for parts of single-spindle slot mortising machines and specifies the geometrical tests and permissible deviations used for acceptance (verification of accuracy) of these machines.

Abstract

Specifies the nomenclature appropriate to each part of single‑spindle slot mortising machines (with equivalent terms in several languages) and gives the geometrical verification tests and corresponding permissible deviations for machines intended for general-purpose use and normal accuracy. The standard addresses only accuracy verification and does not prescribe tests of machine running or operational characteristics.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn (stage: Withdrawal of International Standard).
• Publication date: June 1985 (1985-06).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 01.040.79; 79.120.10 (woodworking machines / machine-tool nomenclature and acceptance).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1985).
• Number of pages: 7 pages.

Scope

Gives the nomenclature for parts of single‑spindle slot mortising machines and specifies the geometrical tests and permissible deviations for acceptance testing of machines intended for general‑purpose use with normal accuracy. The standard is limited to verification of accuracy and explicitly excludes dynamic or operational tests (for example running behaviour or performance characteristics). The dimensions and tolerances are expressed in millimetres.

Key topics and requirements

• Nomenclature and terminology for components of single‑spindle slot mortising machines (multilingual equivalents for key terms).
• Definitions of geometrical acceptance tests to verify machine accuracy.
• Permissible deviations/tolerances associated with each geometrical test (expressed in millimetres).
• Scope limited to accuracy verification — excludes operational/run tests and performance measurements.
• Guidance for acceptance inspections at delivery or during quality control.

Typical use and users

Used historically by manufacturers of woodworking machines, quality and inspection laboratories, procurement and acceptance engineers, test houses, certification bodies, and standards committees preparing or harmonizing machine‑tool nomenclature and acceptance criteria. (Usage described above is inferred from the standard’s scope and typical industry practice for acceptance‑condition standards.)

Related standards

Closely related woodworking machine nomenclature/acceptance standards from the same series or era include ISO 7945:1985 (single spindle boring machines), ISO 7947:1985 (moulding machines) and ISO 7948:1987 (routing machines); these standards address nomenclature and acceptance conditions for other categories of woodworking machines.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 7946:1985 is an international standard that defined the nomenclature and acceptance (geometrical verification) conditions for single‑spindle slot mortising machines.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers names for machine parts (with multilingual equivalents) and the geometrical tests and permissible deviations used to verify the accuracy of slot mortising machines; it does not cover running behaviour or operational performance tests.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, inspection and testing laboratories, acceptance/quality engineers, procurement teams, certification bodies and standards developers concerned with woodworking machine acceptance and nomenclature. (This is an informed inference from the standard’s content and typical application of acceptance standards.)

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 7946:1985 is listed as Withdrawn (withdrawal stage recorded by ISO). It is not an active current ISO publication. Users should check for any newer ISO standards or national standards that cover slot mortising machine acceptance if up‑to‑date requirements are needed.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is one of a group of mid‑1980s ISO documents addressing nomenclature and acceptance conditions for woodworking machines (for example ISO 7945, ISO 7947, ISO 7948). These related standards cover other machine types and similar acceptance topics.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Slot mortising machines; woodworking machines; nomenclature; acceptance conditions; geometrical tests; permissible deviations; accuracy verification; ISO 7946:1985.
