Abstract
A control device of a production machine receives a present path and a movement command from an operator during manual operation of the production machine. An element of the production machine should be moved along the present path by means of position-controlled axes. Based on the movement command, a series of position setpoint values having a setpoint velocity is determined for the axes. The control device determines from the position setpoint values and corresponding position actual values control commands for the drives driving the axes and controls the drives accordingly. The determined control commands limit a contact force (F), which the at least one element exerts on its environment, to a force limit value (F) specified to the control device. The control device monitors a following error of the drives and suppresses further movement of the element when the following error reaches a maximum value.
