Metrology Minute – Utilizing Color Maps for understanding machining outcomes
Utilizing Color Maps for understanding machining outcomes
Consider this airfoil. It was programmed and machined on a 5-Axis mill, using a single setup. The ball mill was able to travel completely around the shape, during the machining process and therefore blending the top and bottom of the surface didn’t need to be considered.
Our job is to inspect the airfoil and make suggestions to the CNC Programmer and Tool Designer to optimize the machining process.
So, the first […]
