Force Measuring Device for Measuring Drawing Forces During Wire Drawing

Abstract

The present invention relates to a force measuring device (10) for measuring drawing forces on a drawing stock (30) in three dimensions, having a force application element (12) and, arranged spaced apart therefrom, a support element (14), each of which comprises a passage opening for the drawing stock (30), one or more connecting elements (16) that are deformable in three dimensions and that connect the force application element (12) and the support element (14), and arranged on the connecting elements (16), a plurality of measuring elements (18) for measuring the deformations of the connecting elements (16), produced by the drawing forces, in three dimensions. The present invention also relates to a system (100) for wire drawing, having an inclined wire outlet having such a force measuring device, the use of the force measuring device, and a method for measuring drawing forces on a drawing wire in three dimensions.
