ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for programming the motion of a machine tool in a three-dimensional machining space defined by an X, Y and Z coordinate system, the machine tool having a spindle linearly displaceable in three orthogonal X, Y and Z axes and rotatable about two mutually perpendicular A and C axes within the machining space. A probe, mounted in the spindle and coupled to transducers, is moved by hand through a desired cutting path for an actual part. A computer connected to the transducers moves the machine in the direction that the probe is moved and selectively records the position of the probe to create an NC parts program that replicates the cutting path motions.
