- G05B 19/19 characterised by positioning or contouring control systems, e.g. to control position from one programmed point to another or to control movement along a programmed continuous path
- G05B 19/401 characterised by control arrangements for measuring, e.g. calibration and initialisation, measuring workpiece for machining purposes (G05B19/19 takes precedence)
- G05B 19/402 characterised by control arrangements for positioning, e.g. centring a tool relative to a hole in the workpiece, additional detection means to correct position (G05B19/19 takes precedence)
- G05B 19/404 characterised by control arrangements for compensation, e.g. for backlash, overshoot, tool offset, tool wear, temperature, machine construction errors, load, inertia (G05B19/19, G05B19/41 take precedence)
- G05B 19/406 characterised by monitoring or safety (G05B19/19 takes precedence)
- G05B 19/408 characterised by data handling or data format, e.g. reading, buffering or conversion of data
- G05B 19/409 characterised by using manual data input [MDI] or by using control panel, e.g. controlling functions with the panel; characterised by control panel details or by setting parameters (G05B19/408, G05B19/4093 take precedence)
- G05B 19/4093 characterised by part programming, e.g. entry of geometrical information as taken from a technical drawing, combining this with machining and material information to obtain control information, named part program, for the NC machine
- G05B 19/4097 characterised by using design data to control NC machines, e.g. CAD/CAM (G05B19/4093 takes precedence)
- G05B 19/41 characterised by interpolation, e.g. the computation of intermediate points between programmed end points to define the path to be followed and the rate of travel along that path (G05B19/25, G05B19/31, G05B19/37, G05B19/39, G05B19/40 take precedence)
- G05B 19/414 Structure of the control system, e.g. common controller or multiprocessor systems, interface to servo, programmable interface controller
- G05B 19/4155 characterised by program execution, i.e. part program or machine function execution, e.g. selection of a program
- G05B 19/416 characterised by control of velocity, acceleration or deceleration (G05B19/19 takes precedence)
