Abstract

A method for determining the position of a milling tool for micro-structuring a substrate relative to a machining head, the machining head including a tool holder securing the milling tool, includes placing the milling tool against a reference surface of the substrate, opening the tool holder to enable an axial mobility of the milling tool relative to the machining head, and moving the machining head relative to the reference surface until a predetermined distance between the machining head and the reference surface is reached.
