Abstract:
1. A method of operating a coordinate measuring machine, the method which comprises: controlling a movement of a machine part such that, during the movement of the machine part, at least one of a predetermined maximum acceleration or a predetermined maximum jerk is not exceeded; one or both of the predetermined maximum acceleration or the predetermined maximum jerk varying within a spatial region in which the machine part can be moved in dependence on at least one of a position of the machine part or an alignment of the machine part, namely according to one of a predetermined characteristic line or a predetermined characteristic field of the maximum acceleration or the maximum jerk, and wherein the predetermined characteristic line or the predetermined characteristic field is used by a machine control during an operation of the machine to define values of the maximum acceleration or of the maximum jerk in dependence on at least one of the position or the alignment of the machine part; and smaller values for one or both of the maximum acceleration or the maximum jerk are predetermined in partial regions of a spatial region having a higher susceptibility to oscillations of said machine part compared to partial regions of said spatial region having smaller susceptibility to oscillations of said machine part.
