Method for detecting wear in machine tool e.g. machining center for processing workpiece, involves comparing actual state of cutting surface of tool with target state, so as to determine wear size of tool

摘要

The method (1) involves monitoring (2) the tools (21,21a) and depositing (3) the monitored tool on tool stock. The tool is arranged (4) opposite to the optical active modules (15,15a,16,16a,17a) of the optical receiving units (14,14a), so as to acquire (5) the actual state of cutting surfaces (18,18a,19,19a,20a) of the tool. The actual state of the cutting surface is compared (8) with target state, so as to determine wear size of tool. An independent claim is included for device for detecting wear in machine tool.
