  • Patent number: 11698617
    Abstract: Positions of both end edges of a weld bead in a bead width direction are measured over the entire circumference of a liner in a circumferential direction of the liner. Based on information on the position of the end edge, bead profile information being information on a shape of the end edge of the weld bead over the entire circumference of the liner in the circumferential direction is created. Based on this bead profile information, machining information of the liner per rotation of the liner being position information of a cutting tool in the bead width direction per phase in the circumferential direction of the liner is created so that a moving locus of the cutting tool relative to the liner along the circumferential direction of the liner approximates the shape of the end edge of the weld bead over the entire circumference of the liner in the circumferential direction.
