The control system is built in behavior achieving layers, which allows a machine
tool to operate at increasing levels of competence. Each layer focuses on a specific simple
control task for machining processes. Qualitative reasoning is used to augment the
system at the highest layer, giving the system the ability to foresee patterns of behavior
that lead to failure. We discuss how qualitative models can be selected, setup and used
to adjust control parameters.
