A REAL TIME TOOL WORKING SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR A GRINDING SYSTEM

摘要

The system comprises a machine tool (1) with an associated computerised numerical control system (7) and a CAD work station (9) of interactive graphic type. This includes an electronic processing unit (11) arranged to determine, on the basis of a mathematical model of the shape to be formed and the nominal geometrical characteristics of the blank work piece (4), the coordinates of the points which define the paths intended to be followed by the tool (6) for working the blank work piece (4), and for transmitting to the numerical control system (7) of the machine (1) the coordinates of the points of the said paths, gradually as they are calculated, for their immediate execution by the machine (1).
