Abstract

A device used for detecting the clamping force of a processed object and a method thereof are proposed. The device comprises a detection unit, a basis component and a pressure detection component disposed on the basis component. The basis component having the pressure detection component is closely placed between pivotal rods so that the detection unit can detect variation of electric properties of the pressure detection component to adjust the spacing between the pivotal rods, hence facilitating adjustment of the clamping force.
