Finding Cutting Forces While Turning Aperation on Lathe Machine at Different Depth of Cut of Different Metals

摘要

In this study, a lathe tool dynamometer that can measure cutting force, feed force and also thrust/Axial force by using strain gauge accelerometer has been Studied and used. The dynamometer used in this project is a 500kg force 3- component system. The dynamometer is connected to a data acquisition system. As the tool comes in contact with the work piece the various forces developed are captured and transformed into numerical form system. In this project various forces for four different materials have been noted down and the materials used in this project are aluminum, brass, mid steel & nylon. The forces on these materials with variation in depth of cut are studied. Graphs are drawn on how these forces vary due to variation in depth of cut.
