Abstract: Cutting force measurement and vibration measurement are fundamental requirements in the burnishing process. Hence, various methods of measuring the cutting force and vibration have been proposed by many researchers. In this study, a novel integrated intelligent burnishing tool holder was designed to measure three-dimensional cutting forces and vibrations during the burnishing process. Using the positive piezoelectric effect of quartz crystal, a cutting force sensing unit was designed on a standard CNC tool holder to measure cutting forces, while three-axis vibrations were simultaneously monitored using a commercial A27F100 three-axis piezoelectric accelerometer during the burnishing process. Then the cross-sectional dimensions of the handle are determined by calculating the dimensions of the quartz crystal group. Finally, the three-way cutting force measurement part of the tool holder was calibrated. The calibration results show that the tool holder has high sensitivity and low nonlinear error, repeatability error and cross-axis interference.

Keywords: cutting force measurement; vibration signal measurement; piezoelectric quartz crystal force measuring unit; integrated intelligent burnishing tool holder.
