ABSTRACT:
A digitizing system for programmably digitizing a control apparatus which provides control information to a machine having a work member movable through a plurality of axes with respect to a work surface. Thus, the control apparatus may adopt the form of a numeric control apparatus which operates a tape placement machine having a shiftable gantry or carriage and which, in turn, carries a tape placement head. This tape placement head would move with respect to a receiving surface such as a mandrel in a plurality of axes in order to deposit a composite tape on the work receiving surface. A digitizing head is replaceable for a tape placement roller on the tape placement head. A tracing member is disposed on the work surface and the digitizing head contains several sensing members, such as photoelectric sensing members, to follow the tracing member. Control signals are then generated to the control apparatus informing the control apparatus of the positional movements of the digitizing head. These control signals are then used to generate a program for future movement of the tape placement head with the tape placement roller replaced for the digitizing head.
