Claim 0:
1. A method for controlling or regulating a closing mechanism of a moulding machine, in which a movable platen is moved by a movement mechanism, the method comprising:
calculating a first trajectory for the controlled or regulated movement of the movable platen using a first algorithm, the calculating of the first trajectory being based on operator inputs relating to a desired movement of the movable platen and based on at least one predefined parameter value for at least one dynamic or kinematic variable of the closing mechanism;
moving the movable platen in a controlled or regulated manner at least once according to the first trajectory;
measuring at least one dynamic or kinematic variable of the closing mechanism during at least one of the movements of the movable platen according to the first trajectory;
generating an estimate of at least one parameter value based on the measuring of the at least one dynamic or kinematic variable of the closing mechanism;
calculating a second trajectory for the controlled or regulated movement of the movable platen based on the estimate; using an optimization algorithm; and
moving the movable platen in a controlled or regulated manner according to the second trajectory.
