CUTTING FORCE PREDICTION USING SPINDLE DISPLACEMENT IN MILLING

밀링가공에서의 주축 변위 측정을 통한 절삭력 예측

Cutting force is important to understand cutting process in milling. To measure cutting force, tool dynamometer is widely used but it is hard to apply in workshop condition. Cutting force measurement which doesn't affect cutting process is needed. Using relations between cutting force and spindle displacement, cutting force can be predicted. Cylindrical capacitive sensor was used to measure spindle displacement during cutting. And signals from tool dynamometer collected to compare with spindle displacement. The result shows spindle displacement has a linear relation with cutting force. Using this result, a simple method to predict cutting force could be applied at workshop condition.
