This paper presents experimental results for milling process using a six components dynamometer for complete mechanical actions measurement. The aim is the cutting moments determination and their evaluation on the milling cutter with multiple teeth during the cutting process. To know the cutting moments to the teeth of the tool, the instantaneous position of the teeth during milling process is determined. To achieve this purpose a calculation algorithm was developed to obtain the milling cutter teeth position respectively the moments at the tips of the teeth.

The mechanical actions measurement can highlight a series of mechanical phenomena occurring in the cutting process. During the experiments, we use a six-component dynamometer to measured the forces and the moments applied by the tool to the workpiece. In this paper, the authors present a method for determining the cutting tool position in drilling process, with purpose to transport of the moments (calculation of the torsor in each of the holes). Then can be achieved analyze of the forces and moments for every hole.

Analysis of the torsor evolution in milling process is very important for optimization of the cutting process to achieve high quality of manufacturing, productivity and cost. Our study is based on the analysis of the Mx, My and Mz moments‘ evolution at the tooth tip of the tool during the milling process. A complex experiemntal setup is designed and realized to obtain a three-dimensional response of the mechanical actions. During the tests, the complete torsor of mechanical actions generated by the cutting process were measured by six components dynamometer (forces and moments according to each direction). In this paper a method for tool position determination in milling process is presented, with purpose to transport and evaluate the moments to the tooth tip of the milling cutter.
