In a method for referencing a workpiece (2) arranged in a machine tool, an image of the workpiece (2) is first of all created using a camera device (5) of the machine tool and is then displayed on a display device (6). An X-Y display coordinate (9) is selected by a user using the displayed image. A Z reference coordinate is then determined in an automated manner. An X-Y-Z starting coordinate (7) can be calculated on the basis of the Z reference coordinate determined in an automated manner and the X-Y display coordinate (9) input by the user. A measuring probe (8) of the machine tool is then moved in an automated manner to the X-Y-Z starting coordinate (7) and the X-Y-Z reference coordinate of the workpiece (2) is determined on the basis of the position of the measuring probe (8), as predefined by the X-Y-Z starting coordinate (7), by means of a suitable determination method using the measuring probe (8). In order to determine the Z reference coordinate, the measuring probe (8) is moved through the region which can be captured by the camera device (5) along a viewing beam (16) starting from the camera device (5) in the direction of a target point (26) until the measuring probe (8) touches the workpiece (2).

A tool-support system for working on holes of a surface. The tool-support system includes two rails fixed to the surface and having imprints regularly distributed over their length, and a mobile tool-support including a mobile optical system capturing an image of the surface. For each rail, at least one wheel is adapted to be moved on the rail, and includes on its rolling strip counter-imprints complementary to the imprints. A mobile tool carries a working tip, and a control unit is configured to control the movement of the mobile tool-support, of the tool and of the optical system to analyze an image captured by the optical system and to detect the presence of a hole. A tool-support system of this kind can therefore move along the rails without slipping while detecting the holes to work on them.
