Dynamometers as the Basis for Process Analysis
It is for these reasons that piezoelectric dynamometers are used
for the determination of the machinability of materials, the
improvement of tool geometry and coatings, as well as for the
qualification of process strategies. Furthermore, they provide
invaluable information for the investigation of chip formation and
tool wear. Last, but not least, for the verification of process simulations
and models. Piezoelectric force sensors offer invaluable
insights into the influences of individual process parameters, not
only for component manufacturers, but also for ancillary equipment
suppliers such as coolant, lubricants, tools and clamping
devices. It is only through such detailed analysis that differentiation
with respect to competitor products becomes possible and
that a decisive sales argument can be made.
