A tool device () for machining a workpiece () by cutting, milling, drilling or grinding, comprising a sensor () for detecting a condition of the tool device () during machining, wherein the sensor () is connectable to a receiving unit (), which transmits data to an analysis unit () for analyzing the received data. The sensor () is configured as a fiber optic sensor () comprising at least one optical fiber () providing an incident optical path () and a reflected optical path () for a light beam emitted by a connectable light source () and with a distal end thereof lying in a surface () of the tool device () such that the optical path length can be measured.

Tool device and method for measuring a condition of a machining tool

A regeneration device for regenerating a coolant dispersion with phase change material includes: a redispersion unit for redispersing the coolant dispersion, the redispersion unit including a restrictor; and a recooling unit that enables freezing of a phase change material by dissipating heat stored in the coolant dispersion. The recooling unit is arranged so that dissipated heat is at least partially recuperated in order to heat up the coolant dispersion to an inlet temperature.

Regeneration device for regenerating a coolant dispersion

The invention relates, on the one hand, to a machine element (), for example a motor spindle or an electromechanical drive unit, with integrated, internal cooling system () and, on the other hand, to a closed cooling circuit () with corresponding machine element (). According to the invention, the cooling takes place with a special coolant (). The coolant () is a dispersion containing at least one Phase Change Material (PCM).
