US 2026/0234876 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING WORK SURFACE OPERATED UPON BY MILLING MACHINE

Abstract

A system for analyzing a work surface operated upon by a milling machine includes an apparatus including one or more sensors. The one or more sensors scan the work surface after a work operation is performed on the work surface by the milling machine and configured to generate at least one input parameter indicative of one or more surface characteristics of the work surface. The system also includes a controller including a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive the at least one input parameter indicative of the one or more surface characteristics of the work surface from the one or more sensors. The processor is also configured to analyze the at least one input parameter to determine a smoothness of the work surface. The processor is further configured to generate an output signal indicative of the smoothness of the work surface.
