Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward a method that includes logging offset data of a machine over a period of operational time having varying thermal conditions, comparing the logged offset data against a thermal model, estimating offsets for the machine based on the comparing, and adjusting offsets of the machine during operation.
Claims20
A method of processing a workpiece in a machine comprising:
- logging offset data of the machine over a period of operational time having varying thermal conditions;
- comparing the logged offset data against a thermal model;
- estimating offsets for the machine based on the comparing;
- and
- adjusting offsets of the machine during operation.
2 more elements
A controller for operating a machine comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- store, in the memory, offset data of the machine over a period of operational time having varying thermal conditions;
- compare the offset data against a thermal model;
- estimate offsets for the machine based on the comparison of the offset data and the thermal model;
- and
- adjust offsets of the machine during operation.
5 more elements
A controller for operating a machine comprising:
- a memory configured to store a plurality of control programs for controlling the machine, wherein the control programs include a thermal offset calibration process;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the control pogroms, wherein the processor is configured to execute the thermal offset calibration process to:
- store, in the memory, offset data of the machine over a period of operational time having varying thermal conditions;
- compare the offset data against a thermal model,
- estimate offsets for the machine based on the comparison of the offset data and the thermal model;
- and
- adjust offsets of the machine during operation.
