Sharp Techno Systems has developed this simple and user friendly setup to study the behavior of cutting forces during milling in three directions. This unit allows students to evaluate cutting depth, speed, and feed. It operates using the widely used octagonal ring and strain gauges method. The first section of the device consists of mechanical rings attached with strain gauges between two M.S. plates. During milling, these octagonal rings provide the relevant data to the force indicator.

Features

• Rigid construction and compact unit.
• Assessment of cutting forces by considering parameters such as depth of cut, material, speed, and feed.
• Easy to handle with digital force indicators for measuring three forces simultaneously.

Specifications

• The mechanical sensing unit consists of a set of octagonal rings and strain gauges.
• It includes a three channel digital force indicator, featuring balancing potentiometers and a polycarbonate front plate.
• The force measurement range in the coordinate direction is from 0 to 500 kg.
• The overall size of the mechanical unit is 300 x 300 mm.

Utilities required other than above supply

• Necessary milling machine with automatic feed arrangement and tooling.
• 230 volts, single phase, 50 Hz stabilized power supply.
