Abstract
A method and a system for checking the position of a mechanical part (), for example a tool of a lathe, along a checking direction (X), employs an optoelectronic device () with a laser beam () and a sensor () for detecting the interruption of the beam. Mutual displacements between the part to be checked and the optoelectronic device within a checking area () are controlled according to a sequence including linear inspection movements () along a direction (Z) perpendicular to the checking direction and at inspection positions (Pi;P-P). The inspection positions are spaced apart along the checking direction at progressively decreasing mutual distances (D), according to a sequence that converges to the searched position (PN).
