Sharp Techno Systems has designed this simple and easy-to-use setup to explore the behavior of cutting forces during milling in three directions. This unit allows students to evaluate key factors such as cutting depth, speed, and feed. The device operates using the popular octagonal ring and strain gauge method. It features mechanical rings secured with strain gauges between two MS plates in the first section. As milling operations take place, these octagonal rings supply the relevant data to the force indicator.

Experimental Objective

To Perform and Analysis of milling machine with an dynamometer.
