Abstract
During a positioning method for positioning a flat workpiece to be machined, in particular a sheet to be machined, for machining by means of a machining device, the workpiece is moved into a machining position by means of a controlled positioning drive with a positioning movement in a feed direction. During the positioning movement, the workpiece is supported on a workpiece support which, during the positioning movement of the workpiece, is moved, by means of a controlled support drive with a support movement in the feed direction. To avoid slippage between the workpiece and the workpiece support during the positioning movement of the workpiece, the support drive and the positioning drive are synchronized prior to the positioning movement of the workpiece by calibrating a control of the support drive and a control of the positioning drive.
