Multi sensor signal processing for catastrophic tool failure detection in turning
Abstract
This paper presents a methodology aimed at the identification of a catastrophic tool failure (CTF) in turning processes based on multiple sensor monitoring. Experimental turning tests were carried out under various cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed, depth of cut) using a multi-sensor monitoring system consisting of a triaxial force sensor to acquire the three components of the cutting force and an acoustic emission sensor. Signals analysis, interpretation and processing was performed on the multi-sensor signals acquired during the turning process and relevant statistical features were extracted and used to develop a methodology for the automatic CTF detection during turning.
