Resumen
Device for measuring the position of the tip of a tool or machine element and method of application; the device measures the position of the tip of a tool or a tool of a machine, especially of a machine tool, characterized by the incorporation of sensors that perform the simultaneous and continuous measurement of forces and to obtain the exact magnitude of the runout of the tip of a tool so that accurate on-line control of the exact position of the tip or tool is made possible. To do this, the collinear assembly is made with respect to its axis of all the components on a fixation base and a top platform assembled colineally. The support device is attached to the data capture and processing device to calculate the position of the tip of the tool or machine tool on the basis that the object, when moving on the flat surface, produces a force whose projections in the plane perpendicular to the axis of the device are related to the exact position of the tool.
