  • Multi-axis cutter diameter compensation for numeric control machine tools
    Patent number: 6895298
    Abstract: A method, computer software program, and automated tool for utilizing cutters in the automated tool to produce a part includes measuring a cutter to determine a second radius, the second radius being different from a first radius, the first radius being the radius of the cutter as manufactured. A part for production on an automated tool is selected. The cutter is selected. The part is associated with the cutter. A numeric controlled cutting program based upon the second radius of the associated cutter is generated for producing the part.
