IEICOS Machine Tool Dynamometers - Lathe Tool Dynamometer, Drill Tool Dynamometer, Milling Tool Dynamometer, Grinding Tool Dynamometer and Multi-component Force Indicators

IEICOS manufactures multi-component force sensors using propreitary technology for measurement of static and dynamic forces on lathe, drill, milling and grinding machines. The dynamometers are designed with extensive research into understanding the exact location of force, stiffness required and are designed to minimize cross directional effects of force

Most application requires measuring one or more forces in perpendicular/angular directions. IEICOS electronic dynamometer is designed to measure these forces. A number of design factors have been considered in manufacturing these dynamometers, such as; the exact location of force, stiffness required and the minimization of cross effects of force in one
direction from the other. Ability to withstand extraneous force is the main feature of the dynamometer; generally the dynamometer is a structure capable of the measuring the desired forces while supporting extraneous force simultaneously present. IEICOS’ exclusive structure design employs latest art of technology in force measurement using highly stable
strain gauge technique. The strain gauges are employed in such a way that the independent bridge senses the mutually perpendicular/angular force.
