<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for measuring dimensions of a tool which can easily specify positions to be measured, even if the tool is unexpected. <P>SOLUTION: In a machine tool, contour lines 51 of the tool 20 are displayed on a display screen S. When an operator measuring the dimensions traces the contour lines 51 on the display screen S of a touch panel with a finger, it is possible to automatically identify, on the display screen S, the position to be measured (i.e., the contour line 51) on the tool 20. In this way, the operator can measure the dimensions of the tool 20 in an extremely simple manner. Additionally, it is possible to automatically measure a tool diameter or a blade position of the tool 20 as the operator designates a specific position on the contour line 51 of the tool 20, for instance. Thus, with such a method for measuring the dimensions of the tool 20, it is possible to easily identify an unexpected site to be measured on a tool having complex contour lines, such as a multistage tool. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
