Abstract
A virtual teach-in module for programming grinding machines or other kinds of machine tools includes a graphic user surface. This surface includes the visual display of blanks, workpieces and tools. The elements shown can be displaced arbitrarily relative to one another by means of suitable operator elements. The resultant displacements are recorded by the virtual teach-in module and converted into a machine control program, or an existing machine control program is varied based on the displacements.
