Abstract
This paper discusses the issues related to force measurement in micro milling and presents the results of the experimental investigation performed in an on going Cross Divisional Project within the 4M network of Excellence, aiming at force analysis and process characterization in micro milling. 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.

K.U.Leuven is one of the three divisions of the department of Mechanical Engineering. PMA is active in the following areas: manufacturing processes, machine and instrument design, structural dynamics, acoustics, CAD/CAM/CIM, robotics, assembly automation, mechatronics, micro- and precision engineering, and metrology. The PMA division work includes original fundamental work as well as successful industry-oriented projects carried out in collaboration with small, medium and large companies and with international organisations like the European Space Agency. An important role of the research activities of the PMA division is based on international collaboration as shown by the participation of the division in more than 40 EC funded projects. The PMA division has also been nominated as Centre of Excellence by the Belgian Government.
