Assessment model of cutting tool condition for real-time supervision system

Abstract

Further development of manufacturing technology, in particular machining requires the search for new innovative technological solutions. This applies in particular to the advanced processing of measurement data from diagnostic and monitoring systems. The increasing amount of data collected by the embedded measurement systems requires development of effective analytical tools to efficiently transform the data into knowledge and implement autonomous machine tools of the future. This issue is of particular importance to assess the condition of the tool and predict its durability, which are crucial for reliability and quality of the manufacturing process. Therefore, a mathematical model was developed to enable effective, real-time classification of the cutting blade status. The model was verified based on real measurement data from an industrial machine tool.
