Repetitive Part Cutting: Improve Productivity by Learning Path Error

Significant improvements in speed and accuracy are now possible by using a CNC system that can learn and correct for its path error. Expanding the functions of learning control past specialized machines into general machining is the next step in the evolution. Now learning functions can be applied to free profile machining, drilling and tapping. The benefits of applying learning control come from its ability to correct for path and synchronous error seen in repetitive cycles. Once learning is complete reduced cycle times and increased accuracy result.
