Abstract

The invention relates to a method (100) for determining an optimised trajectory for a non-productive movement of a tool (10) of a machine tool, from a starting position (12) to an end position (14). The non-productive movement is carried out in a spatially restricted travelling area (20) which is represented by geometric conditions. The method according to the invention is executed with the avoidance of collisions and comprises the step of determining a first trajectory (32) of the tool (10) by means of a travel-finding algorithm. In this step, the first trajectory (32) is optimised for the non-productive movement with respect to at least one selectable target parameter.
