Abstract
A tool holder includes a tool-holder main body composed of a main shaft joint, a clamped flange and a tool joint which are sequentially connected in a longitudinal direction. A plurality of first embedded holes each with one first sensor is disposed on the tool joint and arranged symmetrically. A plurality of second embedded holes each with one second sensor is disposed on the tool joint and arranged symmetrically. The first embedded holes are closer to the main shaft joint than the second embedded holes. A housing covers the tool joint. A sensor reader is disposed between the tool joint and the housing. The sensor reader is electrically connected to the first sensors and the second sensors to collect sensed data.
