    摘要: A method and system for drilling holes in a repaired composite structure. Four corner holes are selected from holes outside of a repaired area in the repaired composite structure. The four corner holes define a rectangle encompassing the repaired area with sides that each include a pair of corner holes with intermediate holes in between. A surface representation is generated based on a scan of the repaired composite structure that includes the rectangle. Side hole locations between a corresponding pair of corner holes are generated for each side of the rectangle. Grid vector lines are generated between corresponding pairs of side hole locations on opposite sides of the rectangle. The grid vector lines intersect each other at intersection points on the surface representation. Point coordinates are determined for intersection points that lie within the repaired area. A path is created for drilling holes at point coordinates for the intersection points.

    摘要: A computer numerical control (CNC) machining center is provided. The CNC machining center includes a spindle that receives a cutting tool. A work surface is operably arranged adjacent the spindle. A non-contact three-dimensional (3D) measurement device is operably coupled to the tool mount, the 3D measurement device including a projector and at least one device camera, the at least one camera being arranged to receive light from the light source that is reflected off of a surface. A plurality of targets is provided with at least one of the targets coupled to the 3D measurement device. At least two photogrammetry cameras are provided having a orientation and a field of view to acquire images of the targets. A controller is coupled for communication to the 3D measurement device and the at least two cameras, the controller determining the position of the 3D measurement device within the machining center during operation.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention can be characterized as a method for controlling a multi-axis machine tool that includes obtaining a preliminary rotary actuator command (wherein the rotary actuator command has frequency content exceeding a bandwidth of a rotary actuator), generating a processed rotary actuator command based, at least in part, on the preliminary rotary actuator command, the processed rotary actuator command having frequency content within a bandwidth of the rotary actuator and generating a first linear actuator command and a second linear actuator command based, at least in part, on the processed rotary actuator command. The processed rotary actuator command can be output to the rotary actuator, the first linear actuator command can be output to a first linear actuator and the second linear actuator command can be output to a second linear actuator.

    摘要: A method of removing features from a cast workpiece includes generating a nominal toolpath for machining the cast workpiece. The cast workpiece is mounted onto a platform of a computer numeric control machine. The cast workpiece is inspected with a probe to generate probe data. Features to be removed are identified based upon the probe data generated during the inspection. Any expected features of the cast workpiece that are missing from the cast workpiece are identified. A transformation matrix is applied to the nominal toolpath with a controller of the computer numeric control machine, wherein the transformation matrix is based upon the probe data. Alignment of the cast workpiece is adjusted relative to the computer numeric control machine based on the transformation matrix with the computer numeric control machine. Features are removed from the cast workpiece that were identified during inspection.

    摘要: A servo controller calculates an alternative movement amount, in a control cycle (n) in which a command cannot be received from the host controller, according to jerk calculated with reference to amounts of movement used for controlling the servomotor in former control cycles before the control cycle (n) and the movement amount used for controlling the servomotor in the previous control cycle before the control cycle (n). The servo controller controls movement of the servomotor by use of the alternative movement amount in the control cycle (n) in which the command cannot be received from the host controller.
