Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for control of a drive for a tool or workpiece uses pilot control and a device with a control apparatus, the pilot control taking place depending on a frequency of movement. At least one of a frequency component of the reference value, a spectrum of the reference value, and a part thereof is used as the frequency of movement. At least one pilot factor is determined depending on the frequency of movement, and the at least one determined pilot factor, multiplied with a pilot value that corresponds to or is a derivative of the reference variable is used for pilot control. In this way, a contouring error can be advantageously reduced.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling of a drive for a tool or workpiece, comprising the steps of: performing pilot control of the drive depending on a frequency of movement which corresponds to a reference variable, determining or computing at least one of a frequency component of the reference variable, and characteristic corresponding to a spectrum of the reference variable, and a part thereof, using the at least one of said frequency component, said spectrum, and said part thereof as the frequency of movement, determining at least one pilot factor depending on the frequency of movement, and using the at least one determined pilot factor determined, multiplied with a pilot value, for pilot control, wherein said pilot value corresponds to or is a derivative of the reference variable component values with a weight or scalar or for removing noise form said frequency. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the reference variable and a characteristic corresponding to the reference variable is analyzed to determine the frequency of movement. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a transform is used to analyze said one of the reference variable and a characteristic corresponding to the reference variable. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , a filter is used for taking the frequency of movement into account. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a frequency or harmonic with a highest amplitude or an average frequency of said one of the reference variable and the characteristic corresponding to the reference variable is determined or computed as the frequency of movement. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a frequency which has been averaged with consideration of an amplitude is determined or computed as the frequency of movement. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, for a workpiece having a plurality machining regions, at least one of corresponding frequencies of movement and pilot factors are determined. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frequency of movement and an assigned pilot factor are determined for reduction of a contouring error. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in operation, a pilot factor is read out of a database depending on the frequency of movement or a quantity corresponding to the frequency of movement, and wherein pilot control takes place using pilot factor read out. 10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein cascaded pilot control is performed with different stages of the cascaded control pilot control taking place depending on the frequency of movement. 11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a workpiece is rotated relative to the tool with a rotational velocity, and wherein the frequency of movement dependent on the rotational velocity. 12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an optical lens is used as a workpiece, and is machined by at least one of face turning and high speed cutting, and wherein the tool is driven by the drive. 13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of said pilot factors are determined prior to machining of the workpiece at different frequencies of movement. 14. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of said pilot factors are determined by at least one of computation, simulation and a test run for different frequencies of movement. 15. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein assignment of the frequency of movement to the at least one pilot factor is determined by at least one of a filter function, profile, table and assignment function. 16. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in current operation, a pilot factor which is assigned to a respective frequency of movement or a quantity which corresponds to the frequency of movement is at least one of read out and is tracked. 17. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pilot control is matched adaptively to current profiles which are to be followed with the tool for at least one of different machining regions, corresponding frequencies of movement and pilot factors (F) being determined. 18. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frequency of movement is considered in the pilot control by a filter. 19. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pilot factor multiplied by a pilot value is used for pilot control. 20. The method as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the pilot value at least one corresponds to the reference variable and is derived from the reference variable.
