It is called a coaxial indicator in English.

I would be interested in seeing it work. I am in initial stages of setting up a cnc lathe and will need to know more about tool setting. I've used a coaxial indicator on a mill where I have X and Y However on a lathe i'm guessing that shimming may be required for tweaking vertical adjustment

If you have a lantern style tool post, you adjust tool height with packing. Most quick change tool posts (QCTP) have height adjustments.

I just tried to use the coaxial indicator but there isn't enough Z travel to fit one in between the chuck and the turret.
I will have to use a small dial test indicator.
