Autonomous coordinate measurement planning with work-in-progress measurement for TRUE-CNC

摘要

The paper deals with the autonomous programming technology for the high speed coordinate measuring machine (CMM). In order to provide the breakthrough technology to enhance the operability of CMMs to be used for in-line measurement of mechanicalparts, a new autonomous programming method which automatically generates a CMM program from the CNC program used for machining of the part is proposed. The developed technology can provide new functionality such as efficient work-in-progress measurementcapability without using the CAD product model based approach.
