Abstract
The invention relates to a method for fixing a tool (10, 22, 64), especially a shaft tool, in a clamping chuck (8, 18, 60), whereby the tool (10, 22, 64) is introduced into the clamping chuck (8, 18 60) and fixed therein (8, 18, 60) upon reaching an axial nominal position. According to the invention, the tool (10, 22, 64) is brought against an abutment (42, 70) and the position of a characteristic element of the tool (10, 22, 64) is measured. The tool (10, 22, 64) is positioned in the axial nominal position by moving the abutment (42, 70) along a positioning section (Z1) calculated from the measurement.
Claims17
A method for fixing a tool having a shank in a tool chuck in comprising:
- inserting the tool into the tool chuck;
- fixing the tool in the tool chuck when an axial desired position is reached;
- positioning the tool is brought with its shank against a stop and measuring a position of a characteristic element of the tool;
- and
- positioning the tool is positioned in the axial desired position by a movement of the stop by a positioning distance calculated from the measurement.
A tool chuck comprising:
- a tool-locating bore;
- a stop bore which communicates with the tool-locating bore and is for passing through a translationally movable stop and
- supporting means on which a retaining stop is supported, the retaining stop having a passage for passing through the stop.
