Abstract
For a number of different operating points in a workspace of a processing machine, the total length changes caused by a weight force are determined and entered together with the corresponding set points in a compensation table. The compensation values are used to compute control variables for set points. Values for intermediate points are interpolated from the values stored in the compensation table. This eliminates positioning errors at both the predetermined operating points and the intermediate points. Advantageously, the changes in the length can be determined from the motor force that counteracts the force acting on the corresponding actuator in a static state, based on an instantaneous nominal current value and/or actual current value of the motor.
