Abstract
By implementing a sequence control in a numerical control, tool-related machining operations and position elements are executed depending on the technology-dependent sequence in the machining program so that all cycles of a machining operation are selected consecutively as modal cycles, with all cycles being selected consecutively for a position element for each cycle for a machining operation, and the respective operation being executed at the position of the respective position element prior to the following cycle being selected as a modal cycle for an operation. Thus unnecessary tool changes are avoided and therefore machining productivity is increased.
