Abstract
Various embodiments of tools with integrated measurement devices are described. An apparatus may include a tool to be applied to a workpiece, an integrated measurement device in a feed path of the tool, and a controller. The integrated measurement device may generate signals indicative of rotation of a roller in a feed path of a workpiece. The controller may generate, based on the signal, a distance measurement of the workpiece. The distance measurement may indicate a distance between an end of the workpiece and a location of the workpiece to which the tool is to be applied.
