  • Patent number: 8402550
    Abstract: Machine tool (2, 2a) protected against improper activation, which has an open-loop and/or closed-loop control device for the activation of machine functions, preferably machine axes, and means for reading in machine control parameters for the open-loop and/or closed-loop control device from a data carrier or electronic carrier signal (3), and which has an improper-activation safety module, preferably an improper-activation safety software module, which decodes the machine control parameters that are intended for the machine tool and are encoded by means of an asymmetric encryption method, using an encryption key which is assigned to the machine tool (2, 2a) and provided for the encryption, with the aid of a decryption key which is likewise assigned to the machine tool (2, 2a), is different from the encryption key and is provided for the decryption, and which module enables the machine control parameters for controlling the machine tool (2, 2a) only in the case of successful decryption, with an associated meth

  • Patent number: 7983786
    Abstract: Neutral data computer control system for a multiaxis machine tool for producing workpieces having a helicoidal generated surface with an optional computer system (1) for generating machine control parameters for a multiaxis machine tool (2, 2a) in which there is provided at least one virtual axis, which can be parameterized as a guiding axis for other axes and then serves only for the synchronization of these other axes, and with at least one data processing unit and at least one memory, the data processing unit being set up in programming terms in such a way that it generates at least one data carrier or an electronic carrier signal (3) with machine control parameters for the machine (2, 2a), or an optional computer program or a computer program product for this and at least one such multiaxis machine tool (2, 2a).
