This simple setup, designed by Sharp Techno Systems, is used to study the various forces involved during grinding operations. It serves as a demonstration tool for students studying tool design. The unit operates on the octagonal ring method, utilizing strain gauges as sensors. A two channel digital force indicator allows for the simultaneous measurement of both forces.

Features

• Rigid in construction and compact unit.
• Assessment of cutting forces by considering various parameters like depth of cut, material, speed, and feed.
• Easy to handle with digital force indicators to measure two forces simultaneously.

Specifications

• Mechanical sensing unit with two octagonal rings and strain gauges.
• Two channel digital force indicator with balancing potentiometers and polycarbonate front plate.
• Range of force measurement in the coordinate direction 0 to 200 kg.
• Overall size of the mechanical unit 300 x 300 mm.

Utilities required other than above supply

• Necessary surface grinding machine.
