[step-manufacturing] Reminder and Status slides

[Martin Hardwick]

All,

The status slides for this weeks conference call are on the ftp site:

ftp://ftp.steptools.com/private/CCAT/Status_slides_20080618.ppt

Simulation data for the Fishhead and Impeller are in the following 
directory with a new version of the STEP-NC Explorer. This data 
includes cutting contact cross section area parameters for the two 
parts. For the Fishhead this data can be compared with the data 
computed by Boeing using Vericut.

>Subject: Seventh Conference Call,  Wednesday June 18
>
>All,
>
>The next conference call is on Wednesday at the regular times.
>
>1. Discussion on new surface scanning technology
>2. Software development progress update and initial feed-speed 
>optimization results.
>3. Discussion on tool path correction techniques.
>4. Discussion on meeting invitation and registration forms.
>
>Mitutoyo and Renishaw have developed some exciting new probing 
>technology that can continuously sample complex surfaces. They have 
>offered to apply this technology to the Impeller and supply a video 
>and presentation for our meeting. The following video for an engine 
>part was taken at the recent  2008 Control show in Stuttgart, Germany

>Cutting tool contact area parameters made using the STEP-NC Explorer 
>simulator will be available for the fish head data set just before 
>the meeting. We can compare these results with the results made by 
>Leon using Vericut and then discuss how to verify similar results 
>for the Impeller.
>
>The proposal for tool path correction is to measure the error and 
>then apply a delta to the tool paths in the direction of the surface 
>normal at the point of contact between the tool and the workpiece.
>
>Drafts have been made for the meeting invitation and registration 
>forms and put onto the ftp site. Suggestions for improvements are welcome.
