Embodiment Construction

[0021] Exemplary applications of devices, components, systems, computer codes and methods according to the present disclosure are described in this section. These examples are provided merely to add context and to aid in understanding the disclosure. Thus, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process steps have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present disclosure. Other applications are possible, so the following examples should not be considered limiting.

Abstract

A method for machining may include providing a workpiece with a major (e.g., top) surface and an edge at a perimeter thereof. The method may also include providing a machining tool including an outer rotary cutter and an inner rotary cutter. The workpiece may be machined in a single pass of the machining tool around the perimeter thereof. Machining the workpiece may include simultaneously machining the edge with the inner rotary cutter and machining at least a portion of the major surface with the outer rotary cutter. Accordingly, the edge and at least a portion of the major surface of the workpiece may be simultaneously machined in a single pass. The inner rotary cutter may also simultaneously machine an undercut at the edge of the workpiece. A related machining apparatus including the machining tool is provided. Further, a computer readable medium may include program code for performing the above-described operations.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to machining workpieces, and more particularly to methods, machining tools, machining equipment, and computer code for machining workpieces in a single pass. Background technique [0002] Machining metals and other materials is known to be useful for producing a variety of products. For example, a workpiece may be machined to form an enclosure for a consumer electronic product such as a phone, tablet computer, or monitor. However, machining material may take a relatively long period of time. For example, grinding generally involves directing an abrasive cutter multiple times around the periphery of a workpiece in order to machine the workpiece into a desired shape. [0003] Additionally, repeatedly directing the abrasive cutter around the periphery of the workpiece may introduce the potential for increased inaccuracies in the machining process. In this regard, to the extent that the abrasive cutter deviates f...
