Patent number: 10627801Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for machining a workpiece (2). The method comprises specifying a path along which a cutting tool (6) is moved during machining the workpiece (2), the path comprising segments (26); defining, for each segment (26), an exit point on that segment (26); defining, for each segment (26), an exit path (38) from the exit point of that segment (26) to a point remote from the workpiece (2); performing a machining process including moving the cutting tool (6) along the tool path and machining the workpiece (2); and, during the machining process, when one or more criteria are satisfied: interrupting the machining process and, without machining the workpiece (2), moving the cutting tool (6) to the exit point of the current segment (26) and then along the exit path (38) of the current segment (26).Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: BAE Systems plcInventors: Jonathan Michael Carberry, Austin James Cook, David McMillan, Aron Derecichei, Craig Ashmore
