Abstract: A plunge milling method includes: a) the area of material that is to be removed is enclosed by a plurality of milling paths, each milling path defining end positions of a milling head during the formation of plunge milling bores; b) to each milling path there is allocated a guide curve for the tool axis, each guide curve defining initial positions of the milling head during the formation of plunge milling bores; c) during the formation of plunge milling bores, the tool axis is oriented, as a function of a milling path and the respective guide curve, so that there is no danger of collision of the milling tool with a contour formed by plunge milling; d) for each milling path, bore axes for plunge milling bores are determined as a function of the respective guide curve, corresponding to a prespecified overlap of milling bores formed along the milling paths.

Abstract: A method for compensating positional and/or shape deviations in NC-controlled cutting production machines. The method including the steps of securing a new workpiece, processing the workpiece using nominal data of the NC program, acquiring set deviation, optimizing the NC program using the acquired data and repeating the above steps until at least one of required positional and shape tolerances are achieved.

Abstract: A method for compensating positional and/or shape deviations in NC-controlled cutting production machines, the method having the following steps: a) chucking a new workpiece; b) processing the workpiece using the nominal data of the NC program; c) acquisition of the set deviation; d) optimization of the NC program using the acquired data from c);and e) repetition of iterative steps a) to d) until the required positional and/or shape tolerances have been achieved.

Abstract: In a method and a device for cutting freeform surfaces, a workpiece is cut by a tool or a cutter to produce a desired freeform surface. For the purpose of cutting, the tool is moved along at least one defined tool path or cutting path relative to the workpiece. In addition to the, or each tool path, at least one guide curve is defined for a tool vector of the tool, the tool vector being oriented as a function of the, or each guide curve 12 during the cutting.
