    摘要: In the machine tool (10) pertaining to the present invention, the contour lines (51) of a tool (20) are displayed on a display screen (S). When an operator measuring the dimensions traces a contour line (51) on the display screen (S) of a touch panel (45) with a finger, it is possible to automatically identify, on the display screen (S), the site to be measured (i.e., the contour line (51)) on the tool (20). In this way, an operator can measure the dimensions of the tool (20) in an extremely simple manner. Additionally, it is possible to automatically measure the tool diameter or the blade position of the tool (20) as the operator designates a specific position on the contour line (51) of the tool (20). Thus, with such a method for measuring the dimensions of the tool (20), it is possible to easily identify an unexpected site to be measured on a tool having complex contour lines, such as a multi-stage tool.

    摘要: A method produces a component, particularly a body component for a vehicle, or a component composite consisting of several components. The steps include forming a metal plate in a forming tool, particularly in a deep-drawing die, producing a reference marking at a predefined location of the metal plate, rough positioning of the formed metal plate by a positioning device such that the reference marking is situated in a predefined space area, identifying the reference marking of a position recognition device, such as a camera system, the position recognition device generating position data corresponding to the position of the reference marking, positioning of a first fixing element at the location of the reference marking based on the position data by an electronically controlled positioning device, and connecting the first fixing element with the formed metal plate, particularly by welding.

    摘要: Machines for fitting cable bushings on a cable have a hollow mandrel (11) for receiving cable bushing (12) and a cable in a fitting region (A). Rotatably mounted stripping jaws (8a, 8b) arranged in the fitting region (A) fit the cable bushing (12) on the cable. A camera (9a, 9b) is directed towards the fitting region (A). A rotation axis of at least one of the stripping jaws (8a, 8b) is at a lateral distance from ray-of-view (D) originating from the camera (9a,9b) and running through the fitting region (A). The stripping jaws (8a, 8b) may be opened to an extent that makes it possible for the camera (9a, 9b) to have an unimpeded view of the fitted cable bushing (12). Related methods for operating such machines (1) are also disclosed.
