Cutting Forces During Turning

Product Description

Cutting Forces during Turning Technical Description of Cutting Forces during Turning Investigation of cutting forces during turning is fundamental to the teaching of cutting techniques. The set-up comprises a transducer, which also holds the lathe tool, and an amplifier unit with digital displays. The forces that act on the lathe tool during machining are measured in three directions: cutting force, feed force and passive force. The 3-component force measurement device uses a strain gauge system. The amplifier unit supplies the strain gauge bridges and displays the measured values on three digital displays. The experiments must be conducted in a workshop environment, as a suitable lathe is required. The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.Specification of Cutting Forces during Turning 3-Component force measuring device for cutting experiments during turning Lathe tool holder implemented as transducer with strain gauge system Strain gauge amplifier unit with 3 digital displays for forces Transducer with splash-proof housing Lab VIEW software for data acquisition via USB under Windows XP or Windows Vista Technical Data of Cutting Forces during Turning Force sensor Number of force axes: 3 (x, y, z) Measuring range: +/-5kN Overload capacity up to: +/- 6,5kN Breaking load: +/-8kN Non-linearity: <1% Supply: 10VDC Strain gauge in full-bridge configuration Dimensions and Weight of Cutting Forces during Turning l x w x h: 365x315x150mm (measuring amplifier) Weight: approx. 7kg
