I was going to put a DTI on the spindle head and another on the tool. The force is applied with a pneumatic piston and the load cell mounted on the end of that. Am I right in saying it does not matter about the stiffness of the components in the middle of the stiffness loop (i.e load cell...
I have just designed the fixturing and acquire the apparatus to perform a static stiffness test on our machine tool at work. I have not carried out the experiment however as I need to purchase a load cell which I am hesitant to do at the moment as I do not know whether I require an output from...
