Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for adjusting the relative position and/or relative movement between a workpiece and a tool of a machine tool in the direction of an axis. An actuating variable for a basic axis comprising one or more drives is generated in the first controller of a basic axis control system, an actuating variable for a higher-dynamic additional axis comprising a drive is generated in a second controller of an additional axis control system, and a third actuating variable, which is fed both to the additional axis control system and to the basic axis control system, is generated in a third controller.
Claims16
A method for adjusting the relative position and/or relative movement between a workpiece and a tool of a machine tool in the direction of an axis, the method comprising:
- generating a first actuating variable for a basic axis in a first controller of a basic axis control system;
- generating a second actuating variable for a higher-dynamic additional axis in a second controller of an additional axis control system;
- and
- generating a third actuating variable, which is fed both to the additional axis control system and to the basic axis control system, in a third controller;
- wherein the basic axis and the additional axis are connected mechanically one behind the other.
A machine tool comprising:
- a basic axis control system, comprising a first controller for determining an actuating variable for a basic axis, the basic axis comprising one or more drives for the movement of a tool or a workpiece in an axis direction,
- an additional axis control system, comprising a second controller for determining an actuating variable for an additional axis, the additional axis comprising one or more drives for the movement of a tool or workpiece in the same axis direction, and
- a third controller for generating a third actuating variable, the third actuating variable being fed both to the basic axis control system and to the additional axis control system,
- wherein the basic axis and the additional axis are connected mechanically one behind the other.
