Abstract

A method is proposed for positioning a part that is moveable by a drive back and forth between two end positions. For a predefined number of approaches toward one of the end positions, the drive is stopped before reaching this end position and its direction of rotation is changed, and during a subsequent approach toward the end position, the end position is reached, detected and stored for the purpose of normalization, the predefined number being generated in a control unit as random number.
