METHOD FOR OBTAINING EDGE PREP PROFILES OF CUTTING TOOLS

摘要

A method for obtaining an edge prep profile of a cutting tool with a point sensor. The method includes: (a) scanning edge points of the cutting tool, including a target edge point on a target edge, with the point sensor, by rotating the cutting tool around its axis, to generate a first point cloud; (b) repositioning the point sensor and cutting tool relative to each other based on the location and orientation information of the target edge point, such that the sensor focus is at a region of interest containing the target edge point; and (c) scanning the region of interest using the point sensor to generate a second point cloud. The first point cloud includes location and orientation information of the target edge point. The second point cloud includes information for edge profile analysis.

1. A method for obtaining an edge profile of a tool with a point sensor, the method comprising:
(a) scanning edge points of the tool, including a target edge point on a target edge, with the point sensor, by rotating the tool around an axis of the tool, to generate a first point cloud, wherein the first point cloud comprises location and orientation information of the target edge point; (b) repositioning the point sensor and the tool relative to each other based on the location and orientation information of the target edge point, such that the focus of the point sensor is at a region of interest comprising the target edge point; and (c) scanning the region of interest with the point sensor to generate a second point cloud, wherein the second point cloud comprises information for edge profile analysis.
