Method for Operating a Machine Tool and a Machine Tool

Abstract

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for operating a machine tool comprising: during a machining process in which a first workpiece of a first batch is machined using the machine tool, detecting a measured variable using a detection device of the machine tool; determining a measured value characterizing the machining process as a function of the measured variable using an electronic computing device; and comparing the determined measured value with a reference function determined before the machining process using a reference machining process carried out before the machining process using the machine tool and/or by a further machine tool and stored in an electronic memory device, the reference function characterizing the reference machining process to machine a second workpiece of a second batch.
