    摘要: In a drilling process speed, bit thrust and penetration are monitored. Data stored in a data base relating rotational speed and thrust as adjustable variables is correlated with data on the penetration rate as controlled parameter to produce a matrix to enable prediction of penetration rate to be expected at known thrust and rotational rates. Likewise a similar matrix may be constructed for relating wear rate to adjustable variables for example speed and thrust. The parameters predicted from these variables at various values for the speed and thrust are used to construct a further matrix relating bit penetration and bit wear rates with cost per unit distance drilled and this third matrix searched for minimum cost. From the first two matrices rotation rate of the drill bit and thrust applied to the drill bit are adjusted to give a predicted penetration rate for minimum cost and the drill bit is operated at these conditions. All conditions are monitored and the information used to recalculate the various matrices to define the process.

    摘要: A compensation system for a computer-controlled machining apparatus having a controller and including a cutting tool and a workpiece holder which are movable relative to one another along a preprogrammed path during a machining operation utilizes a camera and a vision computer for gathering information at a preselected stage of a machining operation relating to the actual shape and size of the cutting edge of the cutting tool and for altering the preprogrammed path in accordance with detected variations between the actual size and shape of the cutting edge and an assumed size and shape of the cutting edge. The camera obtains an image of the cutting tool against a background so that the cutting tool and background possess contrasting light intensities, and the vision computer utilizes the contrasting light intensities of the image to locate points therein which correspond to points along the actual cutting edge. Following a series of computations involving the determining of a tool center from the points identified along the tool edge, the results of the computations are fed to the controller where the preprogrammed path is altered as aforedescribed.
