Abstract
An improved profiling apparatus performs a profiling operation after a profiling surface on a modelwork, and includes a vector arithmetic unit for calculating a projection component in an X-Y plane of the profiling surface in accordance with a signal from a tracer head, that is, a contact detector and a profiling direction arithmetic unit for calculating a profiling direction and a pick feeding direction on the basis of an output from the vector arithmetic unit. The profiling apparatus is effective with high accuracy in the profiling operation, less useless operation and short processing time, and is useful for a processing machine such as a diesinking machine and a machining center.
