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 …

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 …

The rapidly increasing demand and complexity of manufacturing process potentiates the
usage of manufacturing data with the highest priority to achieve precise analyze and control …

For many years there has been considerable research from both an academic and industrial
perspective into the monitoring and control of CNC machining processes, and progress has …

This paper presents a multiple sensor automatic data acquisition system deployed on a
CNC turning center in a real-time production environment at Schivo Precision, Waterford …

With the continuous development of the aerospace, defense, and military industry, along
with other high-end fields, the complexity of machined parts has gradually increased …

This paper presents a new method for tool chatter monitoring using the wavelet analysis of
ultrasound waves. Ultrasound waves are pulsed through the cutting tool towards the nose …

Tool life prediction and tool change strategies are now based on most conservative
estimates of tool life from past tool wear data. Hence usually tools are underutilized. In an …

Discrete wavelet transforms of ultrasound waves is used to measure the gradual wear of
carbide inserts during turning operations. Ultrasound waves, propagating at a nominal …

This paper presents an analytical model to monitor the gradual wear of cutting tools, on-line,
during turning operations using ultrasound waves. Ultrasound waves at a frequency of 10 …
