METHOD FOR MONITORING THE CONTACT OF A TOOL HOLDER

摘要

A machine tool is provided with a tool spindle (12), into which an HSK tool holder (33) is drawn by means of an axially adjustable clamp rod (27). Furthermore, a sequence control (52) is provided for the operation of the machine tool, wherein a bearing surface (38) is provided on the tool holder (33), and this bearing surface (38), when the tool holder (33) is clamped in place in the tool spindle (12), is in full-face contact with a mating surface (39) provided on the tool spindle (12). The sequence control (52) uses an actual value dependent on the current axial position of the clamp rod (27) in order to make a statement about the full-face contact. An indicator sleeve (48) having a circumferential cover surface (49) pointing radially outwards is connected to the clamp rod (27), the axial position of which indicator sleeve (49) can be sensened via the at least one sensor (51)
