Tool wear monitoring using vibrations is a complex task, due to various simultaneously occurring vibration sources and due to distortion of the signals acquired. This work investigates the mechanism by which tool wear information is concealed within acquired process-intrinsic vibration signals. Excluding other sources of vibration, such as machine-related, is attempted utilizing process simulations. As a case study, face milling is performed for three different cutting speeds. At first, the resulted simulated wear curves have been compared with experimental ones resulted under the same cutting conditions. Then, a quantification of the effect of tool wear on the acquired signals is presented.

The technique of tool wear monitoring in plunge milling is studied. The mean of cutting force signals and the root mean square (RMS) of vibration signals are selected as characteristic quantities. The model between tool wear and the characteristic quantities is built using BP artificial neural network. The result of experiment shows that the module is fit for plunge milling wear’s testing under cutting condition, and it is helpful to monitoring plunge milling tool strong wear.

Tool wear monitoring is essential in precision manufacturing to improve surface quality, increase machining efficiency, and reduce manufacturing cost. Although tool wear can be reflected by measurable signals in automatic machining operations, with the increase of collected data, features are manually extracted and optimized, which lowers monitoring efficiency and increases prediction error. For addressing the aforementioned problems, this paper proposes a tool wear monitoring method using vibration signal based on short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in milling operations. First, the image representation of acquired vibration signals is obtained based on STFT, and then the DCNN model is designed to establish the relationship between obtained time-frequency maps and tool wear, which performs adaptive feature extraction and automatic tool wear prediction. Moreover, this method is demonstrated by employing three tool wear experimental datasets collected from three-flute ball nose tungsten carbide cutter of a high-speed CNC machine under dry milling. Finally, the experimental results prove that the proposed method is more accurate and relatively reliable than other compared methods.

In micro-electro-discharge machining drilling, the problem of tool wear is a well-known fact. In order to minimize the effect of tool wear on the accuracy of fabricated product, an online tool wear monitoring and compensation system needs to be integrated with the micro-electro-discharge machining machine. The existing monitoring and compensation system very much relies on the pulse discrimination. The available systems assume that pulses are isoenergetic and are applicable to a single parametric setting only. In order to make the system more robust, a new pulse discrimination and tool wear compensation strategy which is suitable for a wide range of parametric settings is proposed. In this context, an empirical relationship between “average energy” (AE) and “volume removal per discharge” (VRD) is established and verified with experimental results.
