The present invention relates to a method of an axle correction of a processing machine and a processing machine, the processing machine includes, for conveying and processing a continuous material (101), at least two driven conveyance axles (110, 115), at least one non-driven or driven processing axle (111, 112, 113, 114), and at least one further non-driven axle (102, 121, 122, 123, 124), wherein an elasticity module of a material (101) is determined, while a rotational speed of the clamping point which limits a web-tension section is being changed, a precontrol of this clamping point which limits the web-tension section, and / or a processing axle (111-114) which is present in this web-tension section is carried out with consideration of the elasticity module of the material which comprises the continuous material and with consideration for a rotational inertia of at least one non-driven axle (102, 121-124) which is present in this web-tension section.
