Flank wear is the most commonly observed and unavoidable phenomenon in metal cutting
which is also a major source of economic loss resulting due to material loss and machine …

This paper presents an image processing procedure to detect and measure the tool flank
wear area. Unlike the traditional thresholding-based methods, a rough-to-fine strategy is …

This paper describes an in-depth study on the development of a system for monitoring tool
wear in hard turning. Hard turning is used in the manufacturing industry as an economic …

Cutting tool wear is known to affect tool life, surface quality and production time. Because of
this an online tool wear measurement and monitoring system has been developed, using a …

Monitoring tool wear is essential to ensure consistently high quality of machined products. In
the past, tool wear has been well characterized in common machining processes such as …

The objective of this paper is to combine a direct sensor (vision) and an indirect sensor
(force) to create an intelligent integrated tool condition monitoring (TCM) system for online …

This paper presents a tool wear monitoring strategy based on a large number of signal
features in the rough turning of Inconel 625. Signal features (SFs) were extracted from time …

In turning operations, the wear of cutting tools is inevitable. As workpieces produced with
worn tools may fail to meet specifications, the machining industries focus on replacement …

The state of a cutting tool is an important factor in any metal cutting process as additional
costs in terms of scrapped components, machine tool breakage and unscheduled downtime …

This paper describes a real-time tool condition monitoring system for turning operations. The
system uses a combination of static and dynamic neural networks with off-line and on-line …
