Method for modifying programmed positions by using a programmably controlled surface sensing element

摘要: A method is disclosed for modifying coordinate data in a machining program response to workpiece measurements made by programmably controlled surface sensing element. The location of the and position characteristics are determined series programmed scanning cycles. maximum, minimum average measured positions points on stored may be used calculate offsets which modify program. Further, tested against maximum limits determine if within tolerance band. In one embodiment, cutting tool operating conjunction with torque measuring circuit.
