Abstract: Method and apparatus for numerical control to produce contouring by simultaneous coordinated motions along two or more axes, characterized by the creation of desired velocity signals supplied as the primary inputs to velocity servos coupled to drive a member relatively along the respective axes. A digital computer associated with an adjustable interrupt clock which measures off successive time periods .DELTA.T, supplies a changeable velocity command number signal to each servo proportional to the distance per .DELTA.T through which motion along the associated axis is to occur. This velocity command number is algebraically added to a theoretical position number to signal dynamically during each period .DELTA.T the axis position at which the member should reside; and the latter number is used with a dynamically signaled actual position number to re-compute and signal during each period the position error.
