Workpieces WP are scanned at a scanning station (14) while being transported on a conveyor (12). A control system (18) analyzes the scanning data to develop a three-dimensional model of the workpiece WP and determine how to portion or trim the workpiece as desired. The cutting/trimming paths made through the workpiece is compared with the predetermined cutting paths to quantify the correspondence (or deviance) of the actual cutting paths from the predetermining cutting paths. This information is reviewed to determine whether the system (10) is operating property. If the alignment of the actual cutting/trimming paths with the predetermined cutting/trimming paths are not within a predetermined set point, the control system (18) seeks to determine the cause of the deviation as well as determine what remedial steps to take to restore the alignment of the actual cutting/trimming paths with the predetermined cutting/trimming paths.

A numerically controlled machine tool has at least one movement axis and is connected to a numerical controller which includes a parts program. Movements of each movement axis are limited by maximum permissible axis dynamics. The parts program has a sequence of instructions for machining a workpiece which specify different maximum desired speeds for the machining of the workpiece which change abruptly over time. The numerical controller approximates the different maximum desired speeds which change abruptly over time with a desired speed profile that is continuous over time and has a profile of the maximum desired speeds which is also continuous over time. The numerical controller uses the continuous desired speed profile to calculate the desired values of an actual movement profile of the movements for each movement axis.
