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.
Claims15
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 with its shank against a stop and measuring a position of a characteristic element of the tool to obtain a measurement;
- and
- positioning the tool in the axial desired position by a movement of the stop by a positioning distance calculated from the measurement,
- wherein a cutting lip of the tool is used as characteristic element.
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 with its shank against a stop and measuring a position of a characteristic element of the tool to obtain a measurement;
- and
- positioning the tool in the axial desired position by a movement of the stop by a positioning distance calculated from the measurement,
- wherein a retaining stop supported in the tool chuck is brought against the tool, after the tool is in the desired position.
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 with its shank against a stop and measuring a position of a characteristic element of the tool to obtain a measurement;
- and
- positioning the tool in the axial desired position by a movement of the stop by a positioning distance calculated from the measurement, wherein
- the tool is inserted, pre-positioned, and shrunk in place in the tool chuck and is loosened again before the movement of the stop by the positioning distance, and
- before the insertion, the characteristic element of the tool is measured for its position relative to a stop point at the tool to obtain a length, and the stop is moved by a positioning distance calculated from the length, before the tool is brought against the stop.
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 with its shank against a stop and measuring a position of a characteristic element of the tool to obtain a measurement;
- and
- positioning the tool in the axial desired position by a movement of the stop by a positioning distance calculated from the measurement,
- wherein striking of the tool against the stop is recorded by a data processing system, and after that the determination of the position of the characteristic element is triggered.
