Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for providing for controlled oscillation of a tool centerpoint associated with a function element carried by manipulator simultaneously with motion of a workpiece feature relative to a predetermined location. The tool centerpoint describes a predetermined pattern relative to the workpiece feature as a result of the combined motion. Tool centerpoint oscillation occurs in an oscillation path between two extremes determined by pattern parameters defining pattern amplitude measured with respect to a pattern longitudinal axis. The direction of the oscillation path is defined by input signals representing angles measured relative to a rectangular coordinate system used for defining the predetermined location. The rate of tool centerpoint motion is defined by an input signal representing velocity.
