A mobile machine tool (10), namely a manually-operated machine tool (10) or semi-stationary machine tool (10), for machining a workpiece (W), wherein the machine tool (10) has a plate-like guide element (30) with a guide surface (32) for guiding the machine tool (10) on the workpiece (W) or the workpiece (W) on the machine tool (10), wherein the machine tool (10) has a drive unit (11) with a drive motor (13) for driving a tool holder (14) arranged on the drive unit (11) in order to hold a work tool (15), wherein the machine tool (10) has a tool sensor (61, 62), the detection range of which (EB1, EB2) is directed at at least a partial region of the machine tool (10), and wherein the machine tool (10) has an evaluation device (80) for evaluating a tool sensor signal generated by the tool sensor (61, 62). A reference marking (R1, R2) which can be detected by the tool sensor (61, 62) is arranged within the detection range (EB1, EB2) of the tool sensor and the evaluation device (80) is configured to determine at least one correction value for the tool sensor signal depending on the reference marking (R1, R2).
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the reference marking comprises a line or a pattern.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the reference marking is formed by at least one contour of at least one mechanically functional component of the machine tool or comprises the at least one contour.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the reference marking comprises or is formed by a control marking provided exclusively for the purpose of determining the correction value.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1 wherein the evaluation device is configured to analyse a curvature of a straight-line section of the reference marking in order to determine the at least one correction value.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, further comprising an optical display device for displaying at least one piece of optical information generated on the basis of the tool sensor signal.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1 wherein the tool sensor comprises or is formed by a camera.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the tool sensor is and/or can be calibrated intrinsically and/or extrinsically.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the evaluation device is configured to perform an extrinsic and/or intrinsic calibration of the tool sensor.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the evaluation device is configured to determine a test region within the detection range with reference to the reference marking.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the evaluation device is configured to determine a test region within the detection range with reference to a machining contour created by the work tool.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the tool is configured to orient an optical information generated or generatable on the basis of the tool sensor signal relative to the reference marking.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the evaluation device has a stored image of the reference marking and is configured to compare the stored image with an image of the reference marking which can be captured by the tool sensor in order to determine the correction value for the tool sensor signal.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the reference marking differs in terms of size and/or geometry and/or extent and/or colour and/or contrast from a functional component of the machine tool in the vicinity of the reference marking which does not fulfil the function of the reference marking.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the reference marking has at least one colour and/or at least one contrast which differs by a predetermined degree from a typical colour spectrum of an environment of the reference marking.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the tool is equipped to correct the tool sensor signal depending on the at least one correction value.
The mobile machine tool according to claim 1, wherein the tool sensor is or can be calibrated on the basis of the at least one correction value.
