Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A component machining apparatus includes a measurement result acquiring unit and a machining data generator. The measurement result acquiring unit is configured to acquire a measurement result obtained by a measurer configured to measure a three-dimensional shape of a manufactured component among components of a structure. The manufactured component is manufactured earlier than a component of interest. The machining data generator is configured to generate machining data of the component of interest based on the measurement result of the manufactured component that has been acquired by the measurement result acquiring unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A component machining apparatus comprising: a measurement result acquiring unit configured to acquire a measurement result obtained by a measurer configured to measure a three-dimensional shape of a manufactured component among components of a structure, the manufactured component being manufactured prior to a component of interest, and wherein the manufactured component and the component of interest after manufacture is assembled to form the structure; a virtual model generator device configured to generate a three-dimensional virtual model of the component of interest using the measurement result obtained by the measurer, wherein the three-dimensional virtual model of the component of interest is generated such that no gap exits between the manufactured component and the component of interest; a machining data device configured to generate machining data of the component of interest on a basis of the generated three-dimensional virtual model of the component of interest; and a machining device configured to perform a removal process on the component of interest on a basis of the generated machining data, wherein the component of interest includes an excess that is a coupling portion to be coupled to the manufactured component, the excess protrudes toward the manufactured component in a case that the component of interest and the manufactured component are coupled, and wherein when the machining device performs the removal process on the component of interest, the machining device removes a part of the excess on a basis of the generated machining data. 2. The component machining apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement device is configured to acquire the measurement result obtained by the measurer measuring the manufactured component in an attitude in assemblage. 3. The component machining apparatus according to claim 1 : the machining device configured to machine a workpiece on a basis of the generated machining data so as to manufacture the component of interest. 4. The component machining apparatus according to claim 2 : the machining device configured to machine a workpiece on a basis of the machining data so as to manufacture the component of interest.
