Abstract: A multi-clamping and measuring and/or presetting station for tools is configured for an automated, preferably fully automated, mounting of tools into tool holders and/or demounting of tools from tool holders and for an adjustment, in particular at least a length adjustment, and/or measuring of the tools in the tool holders with at least two, in particular fully automated, tool clamping-in units, with at least one, in particular optical, measuring and/or presetting apparatus for tools and with at least one handling robot, which is at least configured to move tools and tool holders between the tool clamping-in units and the measuring and/or presetting apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fastening a tool (22) within a tool chuck (20). An actual position of the tool (22), especially in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tool (22), is determined by taking a measurement, whereupon the tool (22) is inserted into the tool chuck (20) and is placed therein based on the determined actual position and is shrunk. The actual position of the tool (22) within the tool chuck (20) is determined following the shrinking process.
