Die Prozessüberwachung spielt in der Zerspanung eine immer wichtiger werdende Rolle. So können zum Beispiel mittels Zerspankraftmessungen ökonomisch optimierte Parameter in Zerspanprozessen gefunden werden, die zu einer Verbesserung der Auslastung von Werkzeug und Maschine führen. Des Weiteren kann über die Zerspankraft auf den aktuellen Verschleißzustand der Werkzeuge im Prozess sowie auf die jeweils erreichbare Bearbeitungsgenauigkeit zurückgeschlossen werden. Für Zerspankraftmessungen gibt es eine Vielzahl an zur Verfügung stehenden Kraftmesssystemen; zum einen traditionelle Messtechnik auf Basis von Piezosensoren zur Kraftmessung und zum anderen Kraftmesstechnik auf der Basis von Dehnmessstreifen (DMS). Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Kraftaufnahme bei Fräs- und Bohrprozessen, bei denen beide Kraftmesssysteme simultan eingesetzt wurden.   Process monitoring plays an increasingly important role in machining. For example, through cutting force measurements, it is possible to find economically optimal parameters in the milling process, which lead to an improvement in the utilization of the tool and the machine. Furthermore, the cutting force can be used to deduce the state of wear of the tools in the process. There are varieties of available force measuring systems for this purpose; on the one hand, traditional measuring technology based on piezo sensors for force measurement and the other force measuring technology based on strain gauges (strain gauges). This article examines the force absorption in milling and drilling processes where both force-measuring systems were used simultaneously.

In the milling process, cutting forces contain key information about the machining process status in terms of workpiece quality and tool condition. On-line cutting force measurement is key for machining condition monitoring and machined surface quality assurance. This paper presents a novel instrumented working table with integrated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film sensors, thus enabling the dynamic milling force measurement with compact structures. To achieve this, PVDF thin-film sensors are integrated into the working table to sense forces in different directions and the dedicated cutting force decoupling model is derived. A prototype instrumented working table is developed and validated. The validation demonstrates that profiles of the forces measured from the developed instrumented working table prototype and the dynamometer match well. Furthermore, the milling experiment results convey that the instrumented working table prototype could also identify the tool runout due to tool manufacturing or assembly errors, and the force signal spectrum analysis indicates that the developed working table can capture the tool passing frequency correctly, therefore, is suitable for the milling force measurement.

This paper investigated the fabrication and design of embedded Ni-chrome thin-film strain gauges as micro-sensors in tool holders to measure the cutting force in machining operations. A Ni-chrome thin film as piezoresistive material sensor device is embedded within a substrate structure through brazing bonding process, which consists of a Ti6Al4V substrate, a Nickel-chromium thin film sensor and an Alumina insulating layer. The thin-films were characterized by 3D Super Depth Digital Microscope, SEM/EDS, Stylus profiler, to study microstructure, material composition, thickness and sheet resistance respectively. The thin-film strain gauges are calibrated in a cantilever beam setup. Accordingly, in-process cutting force measurement systems are established. The results showed that the thin-film sensor had good linearity and more elaborate structure and superior properties.

The influence of radius ratio of cutting point and cutter on cutting force and stability during end milling process is presented in this paper. To derive motion equations, a 2 DOF mechanical model of end milling considering both regenerative and self-excited effects was established. Different ratio values during three milling conditions were analyzed. Cutting forces as well as stability under different radius ratios by changing curvature radius and cutter radius were elaborated respectively. The results show that when other parameters are set fixed, cutter with relative large radius has smaller cutting force and larger stable range. Cutters with same radius will overlap on cutting force when radius ratio is large enough even under different milling conditions. The proposed analysis on cutting force and stability can be used to determine the optimal parameters, such as cutter radius and spindle speed etc. to improve the accuracy and productivity.
