Abstract
An automatic milling machine mills a gasket. The automatic milling machine controls the position of a cutter head relative a table. The automatic milling machine rotates the gasket with a motor. Parameters of the motor are monitored to determine the amount of rotation of the gasket.
Claims16
An automatic milling machine comprising:
- a controller;
- a cutter head for milling a kammprofile gasket and operatively controlled by the controller;
- a table operatively supporting a workpiece;
- and
- a driving motor that operatively moves the workpiece relative the cutter head by rotating a theta roller that contacts and rotates the workpiece, wherein the controller operatively monitors the relative position of the cutter head and the table, and adjusts the position of the table based at least in part on operation of the driving motor.

An automatic milling machine comprising:
- a controller comprising a processor;
- a cutter head and a cutting head motor, wherein the controller operatively controls the cutter head to mill a kammprofile gasket;
- a table and a table motor, wherein the table motor operatively positions the table and wherein the table operatively supports a workpiece;
- one or more front rollers and one or more back rollers, wherein the one or more front rollers and one or more back rollers are each rotatable about a respective axis, wherein at least one of the one or more front rollers or at least one of the one or more back rollers are movable along another axis to clamp the workpiece;
- and
- a driving motor for driving a theta roller that operatively rotates the workpiece to pass the workpiece along the cutter head,
- wherein the controller operatively monitors the relative position of the cutter head and the table, and adjusts the relative position based at least in part on operation of the driving motor.
