This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of wavelet analysis for tool condition monitoring
(TCM). Wavelet analysis has been the most important non-stationary signal processing tool …

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 …

Excessive tool wear leads to the damage and eventual breakage of the tool, workpiece, and
machining center. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the condition of tools during processing …

CIRP has had a long history of research and publication on the development and
implementation of sensor monitoring of machining operations including tool condition …

Tool breakage causes losses of surface polishing and dimensional accuracy for machined
part, or possible damage to a workpiece or machine. Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) is …

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) plays an important role in contemporary manufacturing of
automobile engine, and coated tool is the best choice for milling of CGI. But studies about …

In-process monitoring of tool conditions is important in micro-machining due to the high
precision requirement and high tool wear rate. Tool condition monitoring in micro-machining …

Fast tool servo (FTS) in ultra-precision machining (UPM) is an enabling and efficient
technology for fabricating optical freeform surfaces or microstructures with submicrometric …

Identification and online prediction of lifetime of cutting tools using cheap sensors is crucial
to reduce production costs and downtime in industrial machines. In this paper, we use the …

The identification of the cutting tool wear state is important to the cutting process. If the
cutting tool is not replaced in time, it may have a negative impact on the processing quality of …
