Abstract
A tool with a fluid axis wherein the fluid axis is controlled based on reference information from other tool axes, such as positional information relating to other tool axes. The reference information may be directly measured or may be determined from a control program used to control the tool with respect to the other axis or axes. Feedback information from the fluid axis itself, such as fluid pressure of the fluid axis, may also employed as to help determine the reference signal for controlling the fluid axis.
