Adaptive machining method for smelted blades

摘要

A method for finishing a shape of a component by machining, in which one area is produced by smelting with a thickened portion forming a first surface with a surrounding profile and a theoretical profile defined by a second surface, the method including: defining, on the second surface, a grid forming nodes and squares; defining each point over which the machining tool is to pass according to weighting coefficients equal to weight to be given to the nodes of the square in which the tool is located, to be the barycenter of assigned nodes of the coefficients; measuring, for each node located outside an outer limit, the delta between the first surface at the node and the theoretical position of the node; calculating deltas for each node within the outer limit by interpolation from already known deltas; using the weighting coefficients, defining the delta to be applied at each point.

1. A method for finishing a shape of a component by machining, in which at least one area of the component is produced thicker than a required profile so as to present a thickened portion forming a first surface with a surrounding profile, the machining to remove the thickened portion, using a machine tool, to obtain a third surface based on a theoretical profile of the component defined by a second surface, the method comprising:
defining, on the second surface, a grid formed by intersecting lines forming nodes and delimiting squares by the respective lines and nodes, the grid being defined on the second surface and further covering an area of the component to be machined and extending so that an outer limit of the area of the component to be machined is completely enclosed within an outer limit of the grid, so that the outer limit of the area of the component to be machined divides the nodes with the outer limit of the grid into a first set of the nodes located outside the outer limit of the area of the component to be machined and a second set of the nodes located within the outer limit of the area of the component to be machined; defining a position of points of contact of the machine tool along the theoretical profile, each point being enclosed by said respective square of the grid in which the point is located and being defined in relation to the nodes of the respective square using weighting coefficients assigned to the nodes of the respective square; measuring the first surface of the component; determining, for each node of the first set of nodes located outside the outer limit of the area of the component to be machined, a delta between the first surface of the component at the each node of the first set of nodes and the theoretical position of the each node of the first set of nodes on the second surface in a direction normal to the second surface; calculating delta differences for each node of the second set of nodes located within the outer limit of the area of the component to be machined, by selecting the respective square to which the each node of the second set of nodes belongs and for which the delta differences of other nodes of the respective square are already known, and interpolating, from the data or data differences, a weighting according to a length of the segments connecting the nodes; updating the position of the points of contact between the component and the machine tool, relative to the reference input into the machine tool, by a weighted sum of the deltas of the nodes of the respective square in which the respective point is enclosed, using the weighting coefficients; and machining the component using the machine tool based on the updated position of the points of contact.
