This paper applies the information fusion technology to tool monitoring. As one of the most important processing factor, the cutting tool and the tool wear directly influence size precision. Signals of cutting force and vibration are measured with multi-sensor. By using multi-sensor the drawbacks can be overcome, the multi-sensor information fusion mentioned in manufacture stands for extracting kinds of information from different sensors (especially for cutting force and vibration signal in this paper), making best use of all resources,according to certain criterion to judge the spatial and time redundancy , to make the system more comprehensive. Two data fusion methods, which are BP Neural Network and Wavelet Neural Network for predicting tool wear, and are debated. By the hybrid of BP and wavelet based neural network the cutting tool status inspection system is built so that the forecast of tool wear can be achieved. The results show experimentally two of these presented methods effectively implement tool wear monitoring and predicting.

Background: In view of the complex system structure and uncertain factors in the fault diagnosis of hydroelectric generating units (HGU), it is a difficult problem to design the diagnosis method rationally. Objective: An attempt is made to employ multi-source feature information to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis, and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by using a diagnostic example. Methods: Through the research on recent papers and patents related to fault diagnosis of the HGU, a hybrid scheme based on the modified cuckoo search algorithm, back-propagation (BP) neural network and evidence theory are proposed. For this modified version named cuckoo search with fitness information (CSF), the step factor is adaptively tuned using the fitness value. Next, three diagnostic models based on BP neural network trained by CSF are used for primary diagnosis. These diagnostic results are then used as the independent evidence, and the fusion decision is made by using evidence theory. Results: Experimental results show that CSF algorithm is better than the original cuckoo search (CS) and its three variants, and the hybrid method has the highest diagnostic accuracy. Conclusion: The proposed hybrid scheme has strong robustness and fault tolerance, and can effectively classify the vibration faults of hydroelectric generating units

Due to the complexity of the structure and process of large-scale petrochemical equipment, different fault characteristics are mixed and present multiple couplings and ambiguities, leading to the difficulty in identifying composite faults in rotating machinery. This paper proposes a composite faults diagnosis method for rotating machinery of the large unit based on evidence theory and multi-information fusion. The evidence theory and multi-information fusion method mainly deal with multisource information and conflict information, synthesize multiple uncertain information, and obtain synthetic information from multiple data sources. To detect faults in rotating machinery, the dimensionless index ranges of composite faults are first used to form a feature set as the reference. Then, a two-sample distribution test is applied to compare the known fault samples with the tested fault samples, and the maximum statistical distance is used. Finally, the multiple maximum statistical distances are fused by evidence theory and identifying fault types based on the fusion result. The proposed method was applied to the large petrochemical unit simulation experiment system, the results of which showed that our proposed method could accurately identify composite faults and provide maintenance guidance for composite fault diagnosis.

Abstract. In order to diagnose the fault of rolling bearing by the vibration signal, a new method of fault diagnosis based on weighted fusion and BP (Back Propagation) neural network was put forward. At first, the vibration signal from the sensors was wave filtered through the method of correlation function, then the fused signal was obtained by the classical adaptive weighted fusion method, the multi-type characteristics parameters was to be as a neural network input. Finally, the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing was realized by the BP neural network, and the results show that the multi-sensor information fusion fault diagnosis method can be proved effectively to achieve the fault diagnosis of rolling bearing.
