Method for machining a component on a multi-axis machine tool driven by an nc-controller and apparatus for conducting said method

Abstract

A method for machining a component on a machine tool includes the steps of: a) inserting the component into the machine tool; b) fixing the component in said machine tool with a surface to be machined being reachable by a tool of the machine tool; c) mapping the material composition on the surface of the inserted and fixed component via a spectroscopy tool; d) determine areas for removing material from or adding material to the component having regard to the mapped material composition; e) determine a tool path for removing material from or adding material to the component; and f) removing material from or adding material to the component in the determined areas along the determined tool path via machine tool.
