自适应控制是一种高可靠的控制手段。将其应用于金属切削过程，可保证在加工条件不断变化的情况下，使切削过程始终处于最佳状态。对自适应控制原理和自适应切削原理分别进行了综述，并以汽轮机中各主要零件的加工为例，探讨了电力设备修造过程中采用自适应切削的可能性及优越性。 Adaptive control is a highly reliable control. Its application to the metal cutting process, to ensure that the changing processing conditions, the cutting process is always in the best condition. The principle of adaptive control and the principle of adaptive cutting are reviewed respectively. Taking the processing of the main components in steam turbine as an example, the possibility and superiority of adaptive cutting in power equipment construction are discussed.
