Patent ID: 6854529

Claim:
An optimizing method for regulating the operating state of a manually guidable machine tool rotating at a rotational speed and subjected to a percussion frequency during a boring action, in which the tool is additionally subjected to a force, driving the tool into an object of a given material, comprising: determining parameters characterizing an actual operating state of the machine tool; conducting an adaptive process analysis based on the determined parameters in order to obtain parameter-specific, relevant characteristics; evaluating the parameter-specific, relevant characteristics within a decision-making process in order to obtain information regarding the actual operating state; selecting known reference data of the tool describing an operating state and of the to be machined material according to a given quality criterion; determining an optimum operating point for the machine tool determinable by a rotational speed and percussion frequency by comparison of the information characterizing an actual operating state with the selected reference data; and regulating the machine tool regarding the rotational speed and the percussion frequency based on the determined optimum operating point.
