Abstract
A machining system includes a machining assembly, a rotary table, a dimensional measurement assembly, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the dimensional measurement assembly to identify first position and a first orientation for a point on a surface of a workpiece with at least one dimensional measurement sensor, determine a first machine-workpiece vector and a first rotation-workpiece vector for the point, control the rotary table to rotate the workpiece about a rotational axis by a rotation angle, calculate a second position and a second orientation for the point subsequent to rotating the workpiece, update a workpiece position and a workpiece orientation in a part coordinate system (PCS) for the workpiece using the second position and the second orientation, and control the machining assembly to machine the workpiece using the updated workpiece position and the updated workpiece orientation.
