METHOD FOR MOVING A TOOL OF A CNC MACHINE OVER A SURFACE
First Claim
1. 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.

16. 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.
