Title:
PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING PROCESSING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/001835
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method of controlling a processing apparatus capable of processing workpieces, such as grind stones, into a variety of shapes. The processing apparatus has an X-axis movement mechanism (9) capable of moving a tool (8) relative to a workpiece (7) into the X-axis direction in a two-dimensional plane (P), a Y-axis movement mechanism (10) capable of moving the tool in the Y-axis direction in the two-dimensional plane (P), and a θ-axis rotation mechanism (20) capable of rotating the tool (8) in the two-dimensional plane about the end (8a) of the tool (8) in contact with the workpiece. A controller of the processing apparatus designs a locus curve along which the tool (8) is moved and the attitude of the tool during the movement, controls the X-axis movement mechanism (9) and the Y-axis movement mechanism (10) to move the tool (8) along the locus curve, and controls the θ-axis rotating mechanism (20) to change the attitude of the tool (8) in the two-dimensional plane (P).
