Abstract
Process control methods are developed that leverage compliant robot control, CAD model data extracts, self-acquired surface geometry measurements, and strategy based programming to finish grind cast turbine blades. The processes achieve high finishes, accommodate varying work needs, and require only a brief teaching session to program for new parts.
