  • Publication number: 20250010474
    Abstract: A method for collision checking of a machining process is disclosed. A process-specific cycle is provided for the machining process. Multiple machining components are moved relative to one another with at least one machine axis on a machine tool. The machining components have at least one workpiece and one tool. The workpiece rotates about a workpiece axis and the tool rotates about a tool axis. At least one checking position is identified and corresponds to a relative position of the machining components set with the at least one machine axis. In order to check a respective checking position for collisions, a substitute machining component is used during the reproducing, which is a replica of the corresponding machining component.

  • Publication number: 20240375198
    Abstract: A machine tool for machining pre-toothed workpieces has a workpiece carrier, a workpiece spindle with a workpiece spindle housing and a workpiece spindle shaft. The machine tool has a meshing sensor, a calibration piece, and a sensor controller which is designed to perform the following procedure: Moving the meshing sensor relative to the workpiece spindle into a calibration position in which the meshing sensor is located at the calibration piece 10; determining a response behavior of the meshing sensor by the sensor controller moving the meshing sensor relative to the calibration piece and meanwhile receiving sensor calibration signals of the meshing sensor, and moving the meshing sensor into a workpiece measuring position in which the meshing sensor is located at the workpiece, the workpiece measuring position depending on the determined response behavior.
