A software module calculates a 3D tool path with integrated reference variable generation for interpolating moving single axes of a precision machine. A precision machine has a control or drive servo-side interface, in order to read in advance for machining calculated files with equitemporal reference variables for interpolating single axes of the precision machine and to stream to the position and/or velocity controller of the respective individual axes. A method calculates a 3D tool path and a component is produced with this precision machine or with such a method.

In a method for calculating reference variables for interpolating moving single axes of a precision machine based on a given 3D tool path firstly for all points of the tool path offline assuming a freely selected path velocity or single-axis velocity, the velocity, acceleration and jerk profiles of all the interpolating axes are calculated cohesively and without specifying limiting values and then velocity, acceleration or jerk profiles are varied on regions on the 3D tool path.

A method for operating a machine tool and/or production machine comprising comparing at least one target position, speed, and/or acceleration value of a machine shaft and/or of a tool center point with an actual position, speed, and/or acceleration value. At least one actual quality value is formed on the basis of the comparison or comparisons. A target quality value is compared with the actual quality value. A feed speed and/or acceleration and/or jerk of the machine shaft and/or of the tool center point is reduced if a defined deviation of the actual quality value from the target quality value is exceeded, or storing information that the defined deviation of the actual quality value from the target quality value has been exceeded if the defined deviation of the actual quality value from the quality target value is exceeded.

A first robot and at least one further second robot are provided to run through a plurality of positioning ranges during operation. A dynamic behavior and/or a load characteristic value of the robot in at least one first positioning range can be adapted to a dynamic behavior and/or a load characteristic value in at least one second positioning range of the robot and/or a dynamic behavior and/or a load characteristic value of the first robot in at least one first positioning range is adapted to a dynamic behavior and/or a load characteristic value of the second robot in at least one second positioning range.

In a method for operating a machine having a trajectory determined by a parts program and including multiple block transitions with a non-tangential contour, a high trajectory speed and a short operating time are achieved. For a first position-controlled axis, an acceleration duration different from a first period duration can be specified, wherein a transition maximum speed for the first position-controlled axis is determined such that, when the first position-controlled axis moves with the transition maximum speed and the transition maximum acceleration is applied, the speed of the first position-controlled axis has a value of zero at the end of the acceleration duration. The traversing movement is determined such that the speed of the first position-controlled axis, at the transition from a first trajectory section to a second trajectory section, does not exceed the transition maximum speed.

A machine tool system has a machine tool with a stationary machine base, support elements connected to the machine base, and a crossbeam connected to the support elements. The crossbeam is adjustable relative to the support elements in a Z-direction or the support elements are adjustable relative to the machine base in an X-direction. A tool holder head is mounted on the crossbeam and adjustable for travel in a Y-direction along the crossbeam. The X-, Y- and Z directions form a cartesian coordinate system. A control facility is connected to the machine tool for controlling travel in the Y-direction and adjustment in at least one of the X- and/or Z-directions based on a kinematic parameter specified as a function of a position of the tool holder head relative to the Y-axis and thus takes into account asymmetric load distribution caused by movement of the tool holder head.
