Abstract
A tool holder is provided for holding one of a tool and workpiece. The tool holder is configured for mounting to a driving member of a machining device. The tool holder includes a tool holder first end including a coupler for coupling the tool holder to the driving member of the machining device. A tool holder second end includes a clamp for releasably holding one of the tool and workpiece. A force sensor is disposed between the clamp and the coupler for sensing force exerted on the one of the tool and workpiece held by the clamp. A linear actuator is disposed between the clamp and the force sensor for linearly moving the one of the tool and workpiece.
