Abstract

Claims (29)

1. A method for measuring a tool using a screen, the method comprising:

providing a display screen; and

measuring the tool by way of the display screen.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen has a measuring scale, and the tool is measured by the measuring scale.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen has a vernier caliper, and the tool is measured by the vernier caliper.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein:

the vernier caliper is a virtual vernier caliper, the virtual vernier caliper is displayed on the display screen and/or operated interactively; or

the vernier caliper is a vernier caliper, which is mechanically movable.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the display screen has a stop, and the tool is positioned with the stop for the measurement.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a screen surface of the display screen has a sensor system, and the tool is measured automatically when the tool has been brought into contact with the screen surface.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein during the measuring step, the tool is brought into contact with the display screen.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising correcting and/or preventing a parallax error when measuring the tool.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising calibrating the measurement of the display screen using a reference body.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: providing the display screen with a tool presetting and/or clamping device; and carrying out a clamping using a length of the tool measured by the display screen.

11. A method for mounting a tool in a tool holder, the method comprising:

measuring the tool according to the method of claim 1 ;

positioning a stop element in the tool holder using the measurement result; and

inserting the tool into the tool holder until it stops against the stop element and the tool is fixed in an inserted position in the tool holder.

12. A presetting device and/or shrinking device, comprising:

a tool measuring device having a display screen configured for measuring a tool.

13. The measuring device according to claim 12 , further comprising a measuring scale on the display screen, and/or a virtual measuring scale displayed on the screen; and said measuring scale being configured for measuring the tool.

14. The measuring device according to claim 12 , wherein the display screen has a vernier caliper and said vernier caliper is configured for measuring the tool.

15. The measuring device according to claim 14 , wherein the vernier caliper is a virtual vernier caliper displayed on the screen and operated interactively; or the vernier caliper is a vernier caliper which can be moved mechanically.

16. The measuring device according to claim 12 , wherein the display screen has a stop, said stop being configured for positioning the tool for the measurement.

17. The measuring device according to claim 12 , wherein a screen surface of said display screen has a sensor system, such that the tool is measured automatically when brought into contact with the screen surface.

18. The measuring device according to claim 12 , wherein the display screen is configured to correct and/or prevent a parallax error when measuring the tool.

19. The measuring device according to claim 12 , further comprising a reference body configured for calibrating the measuring device.

20. The measuring device according to claim 12 , wherein the display screen is operatively connected to a computing unit.

21. The measuring device according to claim 12 , wherein the display screen is operatively connected to a presetting device and/or shrinking device.
