METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED SOFTWARE CONTROL OF WATERJET ORIENTATION PARAMETERS

摘要

The invention refers to a method in a computer system for controlling a jet apparatus to cut along a designated cutting path of a material to produce a target piece having a geometric specification, the jet apparatus having a cutting head and a plurality of modifiable process parameters; comprising: retrieving a representation of a predictive data model that models the effects of values of at least one orientation characteristic of the cutting head on a cut produced using those values; automatically and dynamically determining a plurality of values for the at least one orientation characteristic from the retrieved data model representation in accordance with values of the process parameters; and using the determined plurality of values for the at least one orientation characteristic to control the jet apparatus to cut along the designated path to produce the target piece.
