<p>PCT No. PCT/SE96/01363 Sec. 371 Date May 4, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date May 4, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 23, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/16282 PCT Pub. Date May 9, 1997There is shown an arrangement for detecting elastic deformation of a tool shaft carried by a machine tool and, in turn, carrying a cutting bit. An optical fibre section is mounted in or on the shaft at a distance from its neutral bending line in the longitudinal direction of said shaft. The optical fibre section, which follows the elastic deformation of the shaft, extends parallel with and at a constant distance fro the neutral bending axis of said shaft, so that elongation of the fibre section forms a measurement of bending of the shaft in an axial plane that includes the optical fibre section. The optical fibre section has at least two longitudinally spaced partial reflection means and means are connected to the optical fibre section to determine interferometrically a change in distance between the partial reflection means in the optical fibre section, wherein the change in distance forms a measurement of shaft curvature between the two partial reflection means. The arrangement also includes means for compensating for the influence of temperature on the change in distance between the partial reflection means.</p> |
