A METHOD FOR COMPENSATION TOOL WEAR AND A MACHINE TOOL FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

The invention discloses a method for compensating tool wear for a tool (3) having force control based adjustment or the like of the tool (3). The method includes the steps of: defining a reference point on the machine; establishing the position of the reference point for at least on predetermined operation point; measuring the actual position of the reference point at the predetermined operation point during operation; calculating the tool wear based on the difference between the reference position and the actual position, and accomplishing a compensation movement in response to the calculated tool wear. The invention also discloses a machine tool for performing the method.
