After an emergency braking operation is released in the case of a numerically controlled machine, the path calculated by the interpolator continues to be traveled, so that braking takes place on this path in the interpolation clock cycle. To determine the braking-interpolation points (P.sub.iB), a factor k is defined for each axle, which factor fulfills the condition of at least one axle being decelerated by a maximum amount and the remaining axles being decelerated more slowly.

Method for a time-optimal, true-to-path braking of axle drives of

A one-dimensional, actual-value-specific path parameter F.sub.I (t) is derived from a motional function F.sub.B (t) to trigger switching functions related to position during the movement along a trajectory path of a numerically controlled system, for example a robot or a machine tool. This allows triggering of a switching operation such as switching on a welding or bonding tool with high precision at the actual position of the tool.
