Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Thin-walled hollow parts are a new type of structural component researched in China in recent years, and are currently in the research and exploration stage. The uneven wall thickness of thin-walled hollow parts is the most difficult technical problem encountered in their machining. To ensure the uniformity of wall thickness, after rough machining and before finish machining, inspectors need to measure the wall thickness variation values, manually calculate the deviation between the measured and theoretical wall thickness values, analyze the general trend of the wall thickness deviation values at various points, and manually determine how to adjust the coordinate system and process references. The entire calculation process is cumbersome, and manual calculation carries a significant risk of error and inaccuracies, resulting in unsatisfactory machining efficiency and results.

[0073] Advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0074] This invention clarifies a method for adjusting wall thickness uniformity, eliminating the need for manual calculation of wall thickness and reducing human intervention. By adjusting the milling allowance and developing an algorithm program, the operator inputs the wall thickness detection results into a mini-program, which automatically calculates the detection results. The operator can then directly adjust the coordinate system based on the results, thereby improving the wall thickness quality and processing efficiency of thin-walled hollow parts.
