Drill Tool Dynamometer Experiment

The document describes an experiment using a drill tool dynamometer to measure the torque and thrust force produced during drilling. The dynamometer is attached to a drilling machine and measures the forces applied by the drill bit to the workpiece. It contains strain gauge bridges to separately sense the load and torque. The dynamometer is calibrated and then used to record the thrust force, drill bit size, and torque produced when drilling different materials.

Expt. No. 15 DRILL TOOL DYNAMOMETER Aim: Measurement of Torque and Thrust force by using Drill Tool Dynamometer.

Apparatus: Drill tool dynamometer, digital force indicator, work piece of any material and drilling machine. . Setup: Drill tool Dynamometer measures both the Thrust and Torque force of the drill bit and the torque produced on the work piece. It is used to establish drilling forces, study tool configuration and lubricant characteristics. This can be bolted directly on the bed of the machine using slots provided. The specimen is fixed using a vice or fixture. The drill tool dynamometer provided load as well as torque output. The sensing portion of the drill dynamometer is bonded with two sets of strain gauge bridges one to sense the load and the other to sense the torque. Two out put sockets are provided for both the forces. The instrument comprises of a digital displays calibrated to read two forces at a time. When used with the tool dynamometer keeping both the forces sensing Strain Gauge Bridge energized simultaneously. It has built in excitation supply with independent null balancing for respective strain gauge bridge independent signal processing system with digital display operated on 230V, S, .50c/s A.C. Mains.

Procedure: 1. Fix the drill Tool dynamometer on the work platform post using slot provided on the dynamometer. Ensure that the object being drilled is mounted on the top center of the drill tool dynamometer. 2. Plug the power cable to the 230V, 50Hz mains supply. 3. Connect the in put cable to the respectively thrust and Torque axis to the output socket of the dynamometer the other end to sensor socket on the front panel of the instrument. 4. Place the READ-CAL switch at READ position. 5. Switch ON the instrument by placing the POWER-ON switch at ON position. 6. Adjust the ZERO potentiometer such that the display reads Zero in both the display.

7. Place the READ-CAL switch to CAL position adjust CAL potentiometer until the display reads the range of force. This operation has to be conducted when the dynamometer does not have any load applied. This operation is conducted for both forces. 8. Turn back the READ CAL switch to READ position. Now the instrument is calibrated to read force values up to calibrated capacity of the dynamometer in respective axis.
