Sensory tool holder SPIKE® - polar plot diagram explanation
The sensory tool holder SPIKE is a wireless force sensor used for tool monitoring. During machining (e.g. drilling or milling), it can measure the generated force and torque directly at the tool holder. The occuring data can then be transmitted wirelessly to a receiver. The SPIKE can be utilised to optimise cutting and milling processes.
The included visualisation software can be used for tool surveillance and allows the online depiction of tensile and compressive forces, axial torsional moment and resulting beding torque
