Cutting tool, module, cutting tool unit, and cutting system
A cutting tool includes a shaft portion. The shaft portion includes an increased-diameter portion having a diameter larger than a diameter of other portion of the shaft portion. The increased-diameter portion has a recessed portion formed in a peripheral surface of the increased-diameter portion.
1. A cutting tool comprising:
a shaft portion; and
a strain sensor mounted to the shaft portion,
wherein the shaft portion includes
at least one recessed portion recessed inwardly from a peripheral surface of the shaft portion, and
a sensor mounting portion outside of and adjacent to the at least one recessed portion and to which the strain sensor is mounted,
wherein the strain sensor is mounted to the shaft portion at the sensor mounting portion so as to span the at least one recessed portion such that one end of the strain sensor is on the shaft portion at one side of the at least one recessed portion and another end of the strain sensor is on the shaft portion at another side of the at least one recessed portion.
2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one recessed portion is formed in a circumferential direction of the shaft portion, and has a rectangular shape when viewed in a cross section including a central axis of the shaft portion.
3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein, in a plane in which a central axis of the shaft portion is a normal line, the at least one recessed portion has a shape that is point-symmetrical with respect to an intersection point where the central axis and the plane intersect each other.
4. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein, in a plane in which a central axis of the shaft portion is a normal line, the shaft portion includes at least one set of the recessed portions provided at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to an intersection point where the central axis and the plane intersect each other.
5. The cutting tool according to claim 4 , wherein the one set of the recessed portions have identical widths and identical depths.
6. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of a bottom surface of the at least one recessed portion in a cross section including a central axis of the shaft portion is rounded.
7. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft portion is provided with a mark indicating a position where a strain sensor is to be mounted.
8. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the shaft portion includes a normal-diameter portion and an increased-diameter portion, a diameter of the increased diameter portion being greater than a diameter of the normal-diameter portion,
the at least one recessed portion is in the increased-diameter portion, and
a distance from a bottom surface of the at least one recessed portion to a central axis of the shaft portion is greater than or equal to a radius of a portion of the shaft portion other than the increased-diameter portion.
9. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the shaft portion includes a normal-diameter portion and an increased-diameter portion, a diameter of the increased diameter portion being greater than a diameter of the normal-diameter portion,
the at least one recessed portion is in the increased-diameter portion, and
a distance from a bottom surface of the at least one recessed portion to a central axis of the shaft portion is less than a radius of a portion of the shaft portion other than the increased-diameter portion.
10. The cutting tool according to claim 2 , wherein a width of the at least one recessed portion is 0.1 mm or greater and 10 mm or less.
11. The cutting tool according to claim 2 , wherein a depth of the at least one recessed portion is 2 mm or greater and 40 mm or less.
