Abstract

A wide bandwidth torque sensor for use in milling has been developed which directly measures the torque applied to a milling cutter during operation. The sensor was designed to fit between the tool and holder on conventional tooling with very little effect on the cutting process. Because the sensor is part of a structural system which also includes the spindle, tool and tool holder, the frequency response has distortions associated with the vibrational modes of the system. In order to obtain a wide undistorted bandwidth, a compensation filter having the reciprocal response of the sensor has been designed and implemented on a digital signal processor (DSP).
