PURPOSE:To obtain edge-processing on the periphery of an abnormally shaped work by controlling the position, the direction, and the attitude of a tool on the basis of detected signals to follow the shape of the work. CONSTITUTION:Contact needles 14 and 15 extended from detectors 12 and 13 are brought into contact with an end face of a work W. A servomotor M1 is controlled in accordance with the displacement of the needle 14 to follow the external shape of the work W, while a servomotor M2 is controlled in accordance with the displacement of the needle 15 to adjust the angle of a tool T in a horizontal plane so that the tool T may be in contact with the work W at a fixed angle. This construction permits to control the position, the direction, and the attitude of the tool automatically to follow the shape of the work. |
