Abstract
A device for measuring a pulling-in force of a clamping system provided on a handling device of a machine tool. The device includes a support part having a support surface configured to contact a support surface provided on the handling device, and a pulling-in part movable relative to the support part, which is configured to be subjected to a pulling-in force acting in axial direction during operation of the clamping system. Also included is a deformation body disposed within an interior of the support part and firmly connected between the support part and the pulling-in part. The deformation body is subjected to deformation as a function of the pulling-in force applied to the pulling-in part. A measuring device is also included that is configured to mechanically sense the deformation of the deformation body, and configured to determine a magnitude of the pulling-in force based on a sensed degree of deformation of the deformation body.
