FT 100 Cutting forces during drilling
Investigation of cutting forces during drilling is fundamental to the teaching of cutting techniques. The setup comprises a transducer, which also holds the specimen being machined, and an amplifier unit with digital displays. The axial force (feed force) and torque occurring during cutting are measured using strain gauge transducers and digitally displayed on the amplifier unit.
The experiments must be conducted in a workshop environment, as a suitable drilling machine is required.
