Method and apparatus for machining spatially curved structures

A method for processing carriers, namely spatial guideway beams, bridge and crane girders, straight or spherically modified spatial structure in the longitudinal and transverse axis, later by means of a movable relative to the carrier axis machining device, in which process the carrier (10) in a processing station in one of its mounting position analogous situation is superposed, characterized in that the processing device (3) by means hexapodartiger of mobile gantry (1) worn rod actuators (2) centered on the zero axis of the carrier (10) axially load and non-contact, the carrier (10) comprising, is retracted to reach the processing position, the clearance between the processing unit (3) and the support (10) is detected continuously and accordingly the processing device (3) is modulated, and that the processing device (3) after reaching its working position on the support (10 ) is positively docked and locked and below the technically planned processing steps on the carrier (10) are carried out with the necessary measurement data for positioning the processing device (3), for determining the cutting depth of the machining tools (5/6) and ...
