Abstract

Numerically controlled surface processing wherein contour coordinates of a workpiece clamped in a clamping device are determined in a number of default positions by a sensor, and the coordinates are imaged point by point. Through interpolation of these coordinates, at least one continuous function for the contour profile of one coordinate is determined in one spatial direction from at least one other coordinate in a second spatial direction.
