Method for detecting and calculating a positioning error of a tool between a desired and an effective position of the tool

摘要

The process involves determining a mean positioning gap (EP) of a tool (2) with respect to a position (5) by using a mean time gap value (EM) between theoretic and actual durations (D1, D2) of a trajectory of the tool. Operation of a tool actuating device (7) is controlled using the positioning gap (EP). Parameters defining the position (5) of the tool on a predetermined oriented axis (W) in a referential space (3) are corrected. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a cutting machine having a technical unit for implementing a positioning gap detecting and calculating process (B) an optical or magnetic medium having a software implementing a positioning gap detecting and calculating process.
