As a different approach to the condition monitoring of machining processes by sensor fusion, which has been of great interest over the recent time, this paper presents a novel approach of utilising a single data source to evaluate in-process the overall machining performance in finish turning. The overall machining performance includes the variations of machining performance (chip breakability,...

In view of the strong background noise involved in vibration signal of tool wear and the difficulty to obtain fault frequencies, this paper proposed a tool wear fault feature extraction method based on morphological filters-singularity value decomposition (SVD) with empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Firstly, an experiment system of the cutting tool wear monitoring was set up and a variety of ...

The bandsawing as a multi-point cutting operation is the preferred method for cutting off raw materials in industry. Although cutting off with bandsaw is very old process, research efforts are very limited compared to the other cutting process. Appropriate online tool condition monitoring system is essential for sophisticated and automated machine tools to achieve better tool management. Tool w...

In this study, 3-D finite element modeling of precision hard turning has been used to investigate the effects of cutting edge microgeometry on tool forces, temperatures and stresses in machining of AISI H13 steel using polycrystalline cubic boron nitrite (PCBN) inserts with two distinct edge preparations. Hard turning experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of cutting edge geometr...

Recent work in modeling of the ploughing mechanism in basic metal machining may provide a means of estimating the additional forces to be expected when cutting with a worn tool. The results predict the rubbing stresses due to the finite radius of an unworn tool edge. Since an unworn tool can be thought of as a worn tool with a wear land width VB = 0, these stresses can make up part of a strateg...

Intelligent knowledge based system (IKBS) is developed for optimizing dry CNC turning process using Taguchi method, CNC Machine, EN19 steel as the work piece material, andCutting Insert. Tool wear and spindle loading which are the machining parameters, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, areoptimized through the intelligent knowledge based system (IKBS). The experimental CNC turning mac...

In this work, the study of the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut) on the tool wear used in in the dry turning of cylindrical bars of the UNS A97075 (Al-Zn) alloy, has been analyzed. In addition, a study of the physicochemical mechanisms of the secondary adhesion wear has been carried out. The behavior of this alloy, from the point of view of tool wear, has b...

One of the main goals of the metal-mechanical industries is the reduction of the production costs through the productivity increase. In the attempt to reach this goals, many researchers have been used the hot machining method. This method consists, basically, in the heating of the work piece hundreds of degrees Celsius above room temperature with aid of an external source of heat. Thus, the red...
