A shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping station for tools, for an at least largely automated shrink-clamping and/or unshrink-unclamping of tools into and/or from tool holders includes an induction heating unit and a cooling unit. The cooling unit can in an automated manner be brought into a heat-conductive contact with a tool holder previously heated by the induction heating unit.
