Abstract
A machining system includes an automated manipulator configurable between a measuring configuration, in which a position probe is operable, and a machining configuration, in which a tool is operable, a fixture for holding a template or a workpiece, and a controller. The controller is configured cause the automated manipulator, in the measuring configuration, to move the position probe to at least one reference feature of the template held in the fixture, to determine coordinate data associated with the at least one reference feature. Then, the controller provides the determined coordinate data to a machine learning agent which is trained to provide an estimate of machining coordinate deviation based on the determined coordinate data. If the estimated machining coordinate deviation is below a threshold coordinate deviation, the automated manipulator is allowed to proceed to machine a workpiece.
