Abstract
A measuring unit is used to measure a specific dimension of a product feature within a time segment to generate a measured dimension value. A processing unit compares the measured dimension value with a standard dimension value to generate an offset value. A control unit generates a control instruction based on the offset value, and transmits the control instruction to a machine on which machining member that is used to form the product feature is installed, so that the machine performs tool compensation on the machining member according to the control instruction.
Claims6
A compensation method for a machining member that is installed on a machine, comprising:
- by a measuring unit, measuring a specific dimension of a product feature of a product within a time segment to generate a measured dimension value that corresponds to the time segment and the specific dimension of the product feature, wherein the product feature was formed using the machining member;
- by a processing unit that is connected to a storage unit, receiving the measured dimension value from the measuring unit, and comparing the measured dimension value with a standard dimension value that is pre-stored in the storage unit and that is related to the specific dimension of the product feature, so as to generate an offset value that corresponds to the time segment;
- and
- by a control unit that is communicatively coupled to the processing unit and the machine, generating a control instruction based on the offset value, and transmitting the control instruction to the machine, so that the machine performs tool compensation on the machining member according to the control instruction,
- said compensation method further comprising, before the step of measuring the specific dimension of the product feature, a step of, by the processing unit, retrieving product data that indicates a position of the product feature with respect to the product, and the machining member that is to be used to form the product feature.
