Abstract
An apparatus for provisioning, in particular automatically, a complete tool having a toolholder and a tool, in particular a drilling and/or milling tool. The apparatus has a spindle that can be driven in rotation by a driving device. The spindle has a holding device for holding a toolholder. A measuring device, in particular an optical measuring device, measures a complete tool, held on the spindle. A heating device in the region of the spindle heats a shrink-fit chuck of the toolholder held on the spindle. A cooling device, in particular a cooling device associated with the spindle, enables the spindle and/or the complete tool held on the spindle, to be cooled.
