Method of machining between contoured surfaces with cup shaped tool

摘要

A method of machining a rotor disk (10) includes the step of detecting accessible contact areas on a rotor surface (16) and corresponding abrasive disk orientations at contact points within that contact area. The detected accessible area and orientations are then utilized to map a machining path and corresponding abrasive disk movements. Machine tool executable instructions are generated using the mapped machining path and corresponding abrasive disk movement for removing material on a rotor surface (16) between two airfoils (14).
