Abstract

A method for creating and/or optimizing a cam-disk function for a controller for controlling a moving machine element of a numerically controlled production machine during its operating time system, movement of the machine element being described in sections by the cam-disk function, comprising defining individual movement sections by segments and/or points, and interpolating between said movement sections in accordance with prescribable interpolation rules; wherein instructions for inserting said segments and points and for prescribing said interpolating rules are provided at the point in time during the operating time of the system of the machine controller.
