Abstract
A method for moving a tool of a CNC machine over a surface, wherein the CNC machine is provided with a sensor unit, comprising the steps of: (a) moving the tool over the surface in a predetermined direction and/or with a predetermined velocity and/or along a predetermined path, (b) treating the surface by the tool in accordance with a predetermined value of a treatment parameter, (c) determining, by the sensor unit, a response value indicating a response of the tool to treating the surface and/or to being pressed to the surface, and (d) determining a new direction and/or a new velocity and/or a new path and/or a new value for the treatment parameter based on the response value.

A method for moving a tool of a CNC machine over a surface, wherein the CNC machine is provided with a sensor unit, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) moving the tool over the surface in a predetermined direction and/or with a predetermined velocity and/or along a predetermined path,
- (b) treating the surface by the tool in accordance with a predetermined value of a treatment parameter,
- (c) determining, by the sensor unit, a response value indicating a response of the tool to treating the surface and/or to being pressed to the surface,
- (d) determining a new direction and/or a new velocity and/or a new path and/or a new value for the treatment parameter based on the response value.
A CNC machine, which is configured to move a tool over a surface, comprising:
- a moving unit configured to move the tool in a predetermined direction and/or with a predetermined velocity and/or along a predetermined path;
- a treatment unit configured to treat the surface by the tool in accordance with a predetermined value of a treatment parameter;
- a sensor unit configured to determine a response value indicating a response of the tool to treating the surface and/or to being pressed to the surface;
- and
- a decision unit configured to determine a new direction and/or a new velocity and/or a new path and/or a new value for the treatment parameter based on the response value.
