Introduction

Standard lathe machine uses tool post for holding cutting tools but in case of the project allocated to the team, the tool post is going to be replaced with an ultrasonic transducer and a force dynamometer. A standard tool post cannot hold the ultrasonic transducer and a force dynamometer. The team designed a special fixture for holding ultrasonic transducer and a force dynamometer.

Tool post: is device which holds the cutting tool on a lathe and some other machine tools.
