Abstract
For controlling the progressive operation of a tool along a predetermined path, wherein at least one operating parameter relating to the operation of the tool can be varied during the progressive operation thereof, a limited number of values for said at least one parameter is pre-set, each value being provided with an identification by which, in a path-determining mode, at each of a plurality of selected points along said path (defined by coordinate axis values for said path) one such value can be selected, the coordinate axis values together with the selected identification being stored for subsequent recall. By way of example, the operating parameter(s) may be the speed of rotation of and/or the pressure applied to a tool of a shoe bottom roughing machine using the speed of rotation of a rotary brush assembly forming part of an adhesive-applying tool assembly and/or the flow rate of adhesive supplied to the adhesive-applying tool in an adhesive-applying machine.
