Abstract
Process monitoring and controlling with detailed real-time information such as the cutting force is required for improving the performance of milling processes. This paper presents a novel system for measuring the cutting force in the direct vicinity of the indexable insert. The outlined concept makes use of piezoelectric thick film sensors mounted directly below the insert. The unique design and features of the new sensor enable accurate and continuous force measurements as well as the indication of wear. The results of the experimental investigations are presented and compared to results of a conventional dynamometer.
