Abstract
A monolithic triaxial dynamometer for machining applications comprising one flexure frame with three flexural arms and three light blocking extensions protruding three different photointerrupter sensors housed in specially designated sensor placement slots situated on the sensor stand, the bottom of which lands on the floor of the external mounting structure, which is aligned and connected with the said top flexure frame using first and third group screw holes, thus bringing together a dynamometer used for force sensing in various industrial applications.
