A method for controlling the machining of a component includes the steps of: (i) measuring predetermined dimensions of a component; (ii) comparing the measured dimensions against design data defining a required shape for the component; (iii) using the results of the comparison to define material removal that is needed to bring the component to the required shape; (iv) delivering the component to a site at or adjacent to a machining station having a material removal tool, the component being gripped by a robotic manipulator at said site; (v) using the defined material removal and the known position of the robotic manipulator at the machining station to determine movements of the material removal tool that will produce the required shape for the component; and (vi) performing a machining operation on the component at the machining station using the determined movements while maintaining the grip on the component by the robotic manipulator. |
