Milling Tool Dynamometer
Product Code : EL-MAILE-10866
Milling Tool Dynamometer (code EL-MAILE-10866) is a strain gauge based milling cutter dynamometer that records the radial and tangential forces acting on a cutter tooth throughout its cut, with digital indicators showing the X, Y and Z forces together. It has a capacity of 500 Kg in each direction with 1 Kg resolution, a 350 × 350 × 100 mm mounting for the machine bed with M10 holes for a vise, and comes with a 4 in self centering vise.

What Is the Milling Tool Dynamometer Used For?
In milling each tooth takes an interrupted cut, so the force on it builds up and falls away as it passes through the work, and the pattern differs between up-cut milling, where the cutter turns against the feed, and down-cut milling, where it turns with the feed. The workpiece is held in the vise on the dynamometer, which is fixed to the milling machine bed, and cuts are taken at different depths of cut, speeds and feeds on different materials. The three force readings, logged through the analog output or the optional RS232 interface, show how each parameter affects the cutting forces.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of milling dynamometers required.
- RS232 interface — whether the optional RS232 interface with LCD display for computer data logging is wanted.
Frequently Asked Questions
What forces does the milling dynamometer record?
It records the radial and tangential forces on a cutter tooth throughout its cutting action, and displays the X, Y and Z forces simultaneously.
What is the capacity and resolution?
Each of the three axes, X, Y and Z, has a 500 Kg capacity, and all three components resolve to 1 Kg on 3½ digit LED displays.
How is the work held?
The dynamometer mounts on the machine bed, and M10 holes are provided to fix a machine vise; a 4 in self centering vise is supplied.
Can the data be logged on a computer?
An optional RS232 interface with LCD display connects a computer for data logging, and an analog output for any recorder or data logger is also provided.
What experiments has it been used for?
Its research value has been shown in comparative experiments on up-cut and down-cut milling, assessing cutting forces against depth of cut, material, speed and feed.
What sensor and supply does it use?
It uses a 350 Ω strain gauge based sensor, with coarse and fine zero balancing potentiometers on the front panel, and runs on 230V 50 Hz.
