By detecting changes in the material properties of aircraft components, which may indicate the presence of defects or other deleterious mechanisms.  Early detection leads to corrective action to ensure that the final product meets all necessary safety standards.

By measuring the forces acting on the tool during machining, it is possible to optimize the machining process and improve the efficiency of the manufacturing operation. This can result in reduced cycle times, higher production rates, and lower energy consumption.

Machining force feedback can be used to improve the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of the machined parts, resulting in higher quality products that are more likely to meet customer requirements.

Machining force feedback can be used to detect abnormal cutting conditions that may indicate a problem with the tool, machine or material. This can help to prevent accidents and improve the safety of the manufactured component and cutting operation.

By minimising energy usage and reduce the amount of waste material generated. Sub-standard material can also be identified earlier, and upcycled to other industries. This can help to lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing operation and contribute to more sustainable manufacturing practices. 

By monitoring the forces acting on the tool, it is possible to adjust the cutting parameters to reduce tool wear and extend the life of the tool. This can result in lower tooling costs and reduced downtime for tool changes.
