Abstract

System and method for automated provision of a monitoring function for a machining process which is to be executed by a machine tool. A computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) program of the machining process is automatically analyzed by means of a postprocessor in order to determine processing steps to be monitored. At least one monitoring instruction may be automatically inserted into a control program of the machine tool by the postprocessor, wherein the control program is executed during the machining process.
