The Limited Receptive Area (LIRA) neural classifier is proposed for texture recognition of mechanically treated metal surfaces. It may be applied in systems that have to recognize position and orientation of complex work pieces during micromechanical device assembly as well as in surface quality inspection systems. The performance of the proposed classifier was tested on a specially created ima...

The paper envisages the study to optimize the effects of process variables on surface roughness, MRR and power consumption of En24 of work material using PVD coated tool. In the present investigation the influence of spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were studied as process parameters. The experiments have been conducted using full factorial design in the design of experiments (DOE) on...

An analysis of an industrial lathe accident is presented in this paper. During operation, the rotating chuck lost its grip upon cylindrical workpiece. The detached workpiece impacted inside cabinet, rebounded, struck composite viewing window, and penetrated it. While observing machining process through machinist was chest by He fell backward, suffering a severe traumatic brain injury when back ...
