Reliable force measurement in micro milling is shown to be a challenging task. Measured forces are affected by contributions coming from the machining system. Based on the performed measurements, tool engagement has been demonstrated to occur at each tooth passing, even at feeds per tooth as low as 2 μm.</p> Cutting Force measurement force Measurement / Metrology Micro Milling Micro Tools milling Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:57:51 +0000
