Abstract
A cutting machine configured for the chip-removing machining of a workpiece includes a plurality of required tools. Each tool can exert a tool force onto the workpiece. The cutting machine includes a tool holder for simultaneously holding all of the tools required for operating on the workpiece. A tool slide moves the tool holder to successively align one of the tools to operate on the workpiece, and the tool and the workpiece are movable for chip-removing machining in each manufacturing step. The tool holder includes at least two single-component force transducers. Each single-component force transducer measures a tool force exerted by one of the tools during the chip-removing machining of the workpiece in a force main connection.
