Provided is a tool path generation method for generating a tool path (Tp), along which a workpiece is machined as a tool (T) moves over a tool movement curved surface (So) generated along a work surface of the workpiece. In this method: a scanning policy is set, which is a rule for establishing a path along which the tool is to move over the tool movement curved surface (So); a dividing line (Cd) is disposed on the tool movement curved surface (So); and the location of an intersection of the dividing line and a trajectory of the tool moving over the tool movement curved surface is calculated on the basis of the scanning policy. A tool path is generated, the path being represented by a movement command for curve interpolation using a curve that passes through the location of the intersection.

A method is provided for material-removing machining when moving a tool of a machine tool along a tool path, including providing a workpiece comprising a first workpiece portion and a second workpiece portion adjacent to the first workpiece portion, wherein the tool path comprises a first path section comprising path segments adapted to a geometry of the first workpiece portion, and a second path section comprising path segments adapted to a geometry of the second workpiece portion. The method comprises determining the first path section to cover the first workpiece portion except for a first edge section, determining the second path section to cover the second workpiece portion except for a second edge section, and determining a transition section of the tool path to cover the first edge section and the second edge section, such that the first and second path sections and the transition section cover the entire first and second workpiece portions.

A tool for machining an object including a first part including a rotatable member that is rotatable to cause rotation of a machine tool, a second part, a joint coupling the first part and the second part to enable relative movement between the first part and the second part, and a sensor to sense an object to be machined.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate generally to facilitate performing a task on a surface such as woodworking or printing. More specifically, in some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to mapping the surface of the material and determining the precise location of a tool in reference to the surface of a material.

A program editing device edits a machining program in which a machining path along which a wire electrode of a wire electrical discharge machine machines a workpiece is defined. The machining program includes a plurality of blocks corresponding to respective multiple partial paths into which the machining path is divided, each of the blocks including path information indicating the corresponding partial path. The program editing device includes an analyzer analyzing the machining program and thereby identifying a predetermined shape pattern formed by a series of the multiple partial paths in the machining path, an information generator generating shape information corresponding to the identified predetermined shape pattern, and an editor inserting the shape information into the machining program.

An arc processing method is provided. Firstly, a machining program code is provided, wherein the machining program code includes a control code for machining an arc having a start point and an end point. Then, the machining program code is analyzed to obtain a first start point vector and a first end point vector, both defined by a first coordinate system, of a tool. Then, the first start point vector is converted to a second start point vector defined by a second coordinate system. Then, the first end point vector is converted to a second end point vector defined by the second coordinate system. Then, a plurality of first interpolation vectors of interpolation points, defined by the second coordinate system and interposed between the second start point vector and the second end point vector, are obtained. Then, all the first interpolation vectors are converted into corresponding second interpolation vectors.
