Despite several technical advances over the last decade, CNC controlled manufacturing still bases upon outdated paradigms: manufacturing data are generated and transferred along a heterogeneous and divided CAD/CAM/CNC data chain. The role of the NC controller is limited to the execution of tool paths generated beforehand and the possibility of online tool path adaptation is not planned in legacy NC controllers. In contrast, practical observations make this legacy approach quite inappropriate in an industrial framework. Significant geometrical variability is sometimes observed both prior and after milling in parts that belong to the same batch. In that context, the integration of online tool path adaptation strategies appears to be essential. In this paper, a methodology for correcting the tool path in real-time thanks to measurements provided by a laser scanner moving with the tool is introduced. The resulting local information is used to approximate the workpiece exact geometry by using a POD (Prosper Orthogonal Decomposition) snapshot technique and to adjust the path in accordance. This method has the great advantage of taking into consideration geometrical features such as curvature, twist but also additional parameters whose impact on the tool path is significant (unexpected initial setup of the part for example). This method has been implemented on the advanced CNC programming platform of the laboratory, which hosts in particular a high speed machining centre equipped with an open NC controller.
