Abstract:
A method for modifying a component may comprise measuring the component using a modifying tool, and recording position data for the component based on the measuring. A path for the modifying tool may be provided using the position data, and the component may be modified by moving the same modifying tool based on the provided path.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device system, which are provided for removing material or tissue or for working material or tissue and which can be used in the fields of medicine and dentistry as well as for the most varied types of material working in different areas of application and model working. The invention is particularly advantageous in that an exact removal of material or a highly precise, reproducible material working can be realized within the shortest amount of time by acquiring, storing and computer processing data pertaining to position and/or orientation of the effector and their changes relative to the position of at least one reference body. In addition, commands for controlling and/or regulating are initiated in such a manner that, according to a predetermined working volume and/or material removal volume and/or material remaining volume, the effector is switched into an on/off function or, in the on function, is controlled and/or regulated with regard to its power and/or parameterization. The inventive device system is characterized in that a first marking support (6) with markings (7) is arranged on a handpiece (1) with the effector (2), in that the handpiece (1) is connected to a control unit (22), and in that a second marking support (6) with markings (7) is attached to the material object or tissue object (5).
Abstract:
A method for conforming components may comprise measuring a first component using a conforming tool, and recording position data for the first component based on the measuring. A path for the conforming tool may be provided using the position data, and a second component may be modified by moving the same conforming tool based on the provided path.
Abstract:
A cutting tool for turning includes a cutting insert having a cutting edge, a holder for holding the cutting insert, a wireless communication unit for transmitting information based on a measurement result of a sensor attached to the cutting tool, an acceleration sensor installed in the holder, and a control unit for performing first control for controlling activation of the wireless communication unit based on the measurement result of the acceleration sensor.
Abstract:
A method for conforming components may include a measuring operation and a modifying operation. The method may comprise measuring a first component using a conforming tool that includes a measuring member, and recording position data for the first component based on the measuring. A path for the conforming tool may be provided using the position data, and a second component may be modified with a modifying member by moving the same conforming tool based on the provided path. The measuring member may include a sleeve configured so as to surround the modifying member when measuring, and to be removed from the modifying member so as to allow the modifying operation.

Method and system, for which can be used in the fields of medicine and dentistry as well as for the most varied types of material working in different areas of application and model working, provides that an exact removal of material or a highly precise, reproducible material working can be realized by acquiring, storing and processing data pertaining to position and/or orientation of an effector and their changes relative to the position of at least one reference body. The effector is controlled and/or regulated with regard to its power and/or parameterization based on a predetermined working volume, material volume removed and remaining material volume. A first marking support with markings is arranged on a handpiece with the effector, where the handpiece is connected to a control unit, and a second marking support with markings is attached to the material object or tissue object.
Abstract:
A machine for duplicating musical reeds comprises a force sensor supporting a drill bit, which acts both as a measuring contact, when stationary, or as a tool for removing material from the surface of a reed, when rotated. A flexural resistance map of a master reed, having desirable musical characteristics, is made initially, by moving the drill bit toward the reed surface a predetermined distance after initial contact is made, and storing the resultant reaction force in a computer. The master reed is then replaced with a new reed, at least as stiff as the master, and the process is repeated, comparing the readings with corresponding readings for the master. Where the reed is too stiff, material is removed from its surface by the drill bit; this is repeated over the entire reed surface, until the flexural resistance map of the new reed matches that of the master.
