ABSTRACT:
An improved method of adaptive machining is disclosed which affords automatic blending between a machined surface and a complex variable contour forged surface. An adaptive postprocessor generates an adaptive NC part program from a conventional APT file which has the capability to modify the cutter tool path in real time during the machining cycle based on limited surface measurement data. Variable measurement data taken from each workpiece generates a unique toolpath adapted specifically to the contour of that workpiece being processed, obviating the subsequent need for time consuming manual grinding and smoothing operations between machined and forged surfaces.
