1. A device for assembling tools in a tool holder by thermal expansion and preadjustment and measuring of the mounted assembly, the device comprising:

  • a support frame (1) with an interchangeable tool holding socket (2);

    at least one column (3) supporting a dimensional measurement arm (4) and an induction heater (5);

    a console (6) for displaying measurements;

    a control panel (7); and

    a device (8) for the precise adjustment of the outwardly extending length of the tool, wherein the dimensional measurement arm (4) is in the form of a support of a projector assembly or camera (9) and episcopic illumination means (10) or diascopic illumination means (10

    ), or another visualization device for the position of a tool, this assembly being mounted movably along X and Z axes (FIG. 2), which is to say parallel to the axis of the column (3) and perpendicular to this column (3) in the direction of moving toward or away from planes parallel to this latter, without the possibility of direct movement into the field of positioning of the tool holding socket and of the tool and into the field of action of the induction heater (5).
