Abstract

See full text

A method for determining a position of a workpiece clamped in a workpiece clamping device in a machine tool includes the steps of successively positioning a position measuring head of a position measuring device held in the hand of an operator at different positions on a surface of the workpiece, determining, after each positioning of the position measuring head, a position of the position measuring head in relation to a machine coordinate system of the machine tool, and determining from the determined positions in the machine coordinate system the position of the workpiece in relation to the machine coordinate system. A machine tool configured to a carry out the method is also disclosed. The position of a workpiece clamped in a workpiece clamping device in a machine tool can thus be determined in a simple manner.
