Hello,
I'm on a project team for a class in school and I have an idea for our project to help mitigate the issue of breaking taps. My idea is to create an adapter that goes between a CNC machine tool head and the tool holder that monitors the stress in the tap. If the tap approaches tensile strength, remove the tap from the part to avoid breakage.
Do you guys who spend time in shops/large CNC facilities think this would be useful/beneficial/would actually use this product?
Any insight/advice would be helpful!
Thanks,
Caroline
