Apparatus for simulating the behavior of control and machine tools or production machines

A device for simulation of the control and machine behavior of machine tools or production machines, from axis setpoints (xs1, xs2) with the aid of mathematical models of the drives and the mechanics of the machine, Achsenistwerte (xi1, xi2) are calculated, characterized in that the axis setpoints ( xs1, xs2) (by a numerical control 1) (to a downstream computer 10) can be output, that the Achsenistwerte (xi1, xi2) (by the downstream machine 10), based on control circuits which (the transmission characteristics of axis setpoints xs1, xs2) to Achsenistwerten (xi1, xi2) replicate, predictable, and at a geometric kinematics model (8) of the machine can be forwarded, that from that produced state signals (9) to the numerical control (1) are ruckleitbar and that NC axes and PLC axes simultaneously can be simulated.
