  • Patent number: 11618119
    Abstract: There is proposed a method for examining the clamping state of a tool holder or tool which is clamped in a tool clamping device of a rotor unit of a motor-driven machine tool unit, with the spacing of the sensor head from a component of the rotor unit being measured, with a recording of at least one time and/or position-related sequence of the spacing values measured with the sensor head, wherein for improved integration of the method the recording of a first and a second time and/or position-related sequence is carried out during an acceleration of the rotation of the rotor unit with respect to the stator unit, in particular when the rotor unit is started up, wherein the time and/or position-related information of the sequence vectors of the first and/or second sequence is scaled using the respective associated current speed (v0).

  • Publication number: 20210379718
    Abstract: A method for sensing a cutting-edge load in a motor-driven machine-tool unit having a stator unit and a rotor unit that is rotatable at least about an axis of rotation. The rotor unit includes a tool receiving unit that is adjustable along the axis of rotation and to which a clamping force can be applied, for fixing and clamping a releasably fixable tool shank of a tool. A tool head of the tool includes at least one individual cutting edge. A tool sensor is provided for sensing the load on the tool, the tool sensor being realized as an individual-cutting-edge sensor for sensing a cutting-edge load on the individual cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 11123834
    Abstract: Proposed is a machine tool unit with a stator unit and a rotor unit which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, wherein the rotor unit comprises a spindle head with a tool-holding unit having a tool-clamping device, wherein a testing device is provided for testing the clamping state of the tool, the testing device having precisely one sensor head for sensory detection. To improve the precision, the sensor head is arranged at a fixed position on the stator unit in such a manner that it measures the distance to an end-side part of the spindle head rotating relative to the sensor head, wherein the testing device is designed to record a temporal/position-related sequence of at least two distance values and/or of at least two successive series of in each case at least two distance values, in order to determine an axial run-out error.
