A sensor module that integrates a thin film Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric strain sensor and an in situ data logging platform has been designed and implemented for monitoring of feed and transverse forces in the peripheral end milling process. The module, which is mounted on the tool shank, measures the dynamic strain(s) produced in the tool and logs the data into an on-board card for later retrieval. The close proximity between the signal source and the PVDF sensor(s) minimizes the attenuation and distortion of the signal along the transmitting path and provides high-fidelity signals. It also facilitates the employment of a first principles model based on Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the constitutive equations of the piezoelectric sensor material to relate the in situ measured PVDF sensor signals to the feed and transverse forces acting on the tool. The PVDF sensor signals are found to compare well with the force signals measured by a platform type piezoelectric force dynamometer in peripheral end milling experiments.

In the milling process, cutting forces contain key information about the machining process status in terms of workpiece quality and tool condition. On-line cutting force measurement is key for machining condition monitoring and machined surface quality assurance. This paper presents a novel instrumented working table with integrated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film sensors, thus enabling the dynamic milling force measurement with compact structures. To achieve this, PVDF thin-film sensors are integrated into the working table to sense forces in different directions and the dedicated cutting force decoupling model is derived. A prototype instrumented working table is developed and validated. The validation demonstrates that profiles of the forces measured from the developed instrumented working table prototype and the dynamometer match well. Furthermore, the milling experiment results convey that the instrumented working table prototype could also identify the tool runout due to tool manufacturing or assembly errors, and the force signal spectrum analysis indicates that the developed working table can capture the tool passing frequency correctly, therefore, is suitable for the milling force measurement.
