Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for the automatic determination of the geometrical dimensions of a tool having a machining region in worm thread form, in particular of a grinding worm, wherein in the method: a measurement element is directed to the tool for the detection of a distance, the tool is set into rotation with respect to the measurement element, and a conclusion is drawn on the geometry of the tool on the basis of distance values that were detected by the measurement element during the rotation of the tool.

A method for the automatic determination of the geometrical dimensions of a tool having a machining region in worm thread form , wherein in the method include that:
- a measurement element is directed to the tool for the detection of a distance;
- the tool is set into rotation with respect to the measurement element;
- and
- a conclusion is drawn on the geometrical dimensions of the tool on the basis of distance values that were detected by the measurement element during the rotation of the tool.
A method for the determination of the geometry of a tool having a machining region in worm thread form, wherein in the method:
- a measurement element in the form of a dresser or of a composite profile roller is directed onto the tool for the detection of a distance;
- a conclusion is drawn on the geometry of the tool on the basis of distance values that were detected by the measurement element on the direction onto the tool;
- the tool is positioned such that a tooth flank is freely accessible in the longitudinal direction at the upper margin or lower margin of the tool, and
- the measurement element (2 is traveled at the radial height of the outer diameter of the tool and at the tangential height of the tool margin and, starting from the starting point, the feed takes place in small steps i) radially or ii) tangentially, with the tool being traveled i) tangentially or ii) radially after every step to contact the measurement element so that a discrete contour of the tooth flanks is determined.
