Sensing tool
(SumiForce)
Visualizing the Cutting Process
For Turning
Vertical Load ≈ Principal Force
Horizontal Load ≈ Force considering the back force in addition to the feed force
● High-sensitivity measurement of minute changes
● Same size as a standard 25mm square holder
● Measures both vertical and horizontal loads
● Maintains 99% of the rigidity of standard holders
■ Tool Fracture
■ Chatter Vibration
Measures subtle chatter vibrations that are often missed on-site.
■ Bottleneck Processes
Identifies processes prone to fracture or dimensional defects.
■ Machinability Issues
Reveals machinability causes of boundary deposition.
■ Chip Biting
Detects chip biting, a primary cause of fracture and worsening of surface roughness.
■ Tool Suitability
Understand the impact of different tools on machining quality.
Suitable tool
Unsuitable tool
For Milling
More detailed machining status is visible from changes in the tool coordinate system XY surface cutting load
● High-sensitivity measurement of minute changes
● Measures tool coordinate system XY surface loads in addition to thrust and torque
● Unique integrated holder structure
● Supports Automatic Tool Changer
■ Groove Milling
Visualizes the status of each cutting edge.
■ Drilling
Detects hole diameter expansion and hole bending by visualizing cutting force changes on the XY plane.
Setting conditions based on quantitative values, helping identify error causes through visualization
Have you ever had this problem?
[Machining method selection]
1. Startup, early mass production
It takes too long to decide on cutting conditions and cutting paths based on noise and machine vibration during cutting.
2. Mass production
Machining efficiency suffers from cutting errors with unknown causes.
