摘要

The invention relates to a method for the continuous path control of a machine tool, where either the tool or the workpiece is moved along a curve corresponding to the contour for the purpose of producing a given workpiece contour. The shape of the contour is approximated by a plurality of individual points and interpolation is carried out between the points. After each interpolation section, the set point is scanned, a set point/actual value comparison is carried out and a corresponding correction value is put in for the actuating element. To reduce the required effort at good accuracy, set point scanning is carried out after a given path section instead of a given time interval.
