TOOL HOLDER AND INCREMENTAL SHEET FORMING METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a tool holder (10) comprising a first sensing device (18) for detecting an axial working force. For providing a tool holder (10) that can be universally used with different metal working machines for a more precise controlling of a metal working process in response to the actual working forces, the invention proposes to equip the tool holder (10) with a second sensing device (20) for detecting a lateral force. Preferably, such tool holder (10) is used in an Incremental Sheet Forming process.
