Product Description
In studying and cutting operation over the lathe, knowledge of cutting forces is essential. The unit is a simple unit to determine the three components of cutting forces in oblique cutting in X, Y & Z directions. The basic height of tool is 70 mm, which can be increased to 150 mm to suit the machine over which it is to be used. The unit is provided with strain gauge bridge balance with power supply and digital indicator with a channel selector switch. The unit is properly calibrated up to load of 200 Kg on all channels.
The unit can be easily mounted over the lathe the tool used is 1/2” square HSS bit which is mounted in the sensing unit. The unit is so designed that operation is simple and reliable and use of cutting fluids is possible. Thus cutting forces can be measured at different speeds feeds and different materials.
A technical manual accompanies the unit.
