Abstract: In a method for continuous-path control in at least two linear axes and at least one angle axis, the movement of a tool relative to a workpiece is predefined by a parts program for a numerical control. The velocity control in the numerical control is performed separately for the linear axes and the angle axes. Deviations in the movement between the tool and the workpiece resulting due to the separate velocity control may be corrected by compensation movements of the linear axes. The separate velocity control for the linear axes and the angle axes may be achieved by rounding the velocity profiles in the angle axes more significantly than the velocity profiles in the linear axes. A measure for the rounding for velocity profiles may be predefined separately for the angle axes and the linear axes.

Abstract: A method of non-linear display of routes of a machine-tool or another mechanism and including determining a set path based on stored commands and determining an actual path based on actual displacements during operation of the machine-tool or another mechanism resulting from execution of the stored commands, graphically displaying the set path and components of the actual path, which extend parallel to the set path, at a first scale, graphically displaying components of the actual path, which extend perpendicular to the set path, at a second scale, and graphically displaying at a selected points of the set path, the set path and the components of the actual path, which extend parallel to the set path, at a third scale and the components of the actual path, which extend perpendicular to the set path, at a fourth scale.
