Cutting Machine Comprising a Force Transducer, Use of Such a Cutting Machine and Process of Calibrating the Force Transducer of Such a Cutting Machine

A method for calibrating single-component force transducers of a cutting machine that includes a tool holder a tool holder that holds at least one required tool, and at least two single-component force transducers, the method comprising the following steps:

• disposing the at least one required tool in a position relative to the at least two single-component force transducers;
• applying a calibration force to the at least one required tool;
• measuring the calibration force by the at least two single-component force transducers and by the calibration force transducer;
• in that
• wherein the at least two single-component force transducers generate analog measurement signals for the measured calibration force;
• wherein analog calibration signals are generated by the calibration force transducer for the measured calibration force;
• converting the analog measurement signals into digital measurement signals;
• converting the analog calibration signals into digital calibration signals;
• summing the digital measurement signals to obtain a position-specifically averaged measurement signal;
• and
• comparing the position-specifically averaged measurement signal of the position of the at least one required tool to a digital calibration signal of the position of the at least one required tool to obtain a calibration factor specific to the position of the at least one required tool relative to the at least two single-component force transducers.
