Drill flank wear estimation using supervised vector quantization neural networks

Drill wear detection and prognosis is one of the most important considerations in reducing the cost of rework and scrap and to optimize tool utilization in hole making industry. This study presents the development and implementation of two supervised vector quantization neural networks for estimating the flank-land wear size of a twist drill. The two algorithms are; the learning vector quantization (LVQ) and the fuzzy learning vector quantization (FLVQ). The input features to the neural networks were extracted from the vibration signals using power spectral analysis and continuous wavelet transform techniques. Training and testing were performed under a variety of speeds and feeds in the dry drilling of steel plates. It was found that the FLVQ is more efficient in assessing the flank wear size than the LVQ. The experimental procedure for acquiring vibration data and extracting features in the time-frequency domain using the wavelet transform is detailed. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed neural network algorithms were effective in estimating the size of the drill flank wear.     

Design of artificial neural networks for tool wear monitoring

An on-line scheme for tool wear monitoring using artificial neural networks (ANNs) has been proposed. Cutting velocity, feed, cutting force and machining time are given as inputs to the ANN, and the flank wear is estimated using the ANN. Different ANN structures are designed and investigated to estimate the tool wear accurately. An existing analytical model is used to obtain the data for various cutting conditions in order to eliminate the huge cost and time associated with generation of training and evaluation data. Motivated by the fact that the tool wear at a given instance of time depends on the tool wear value at a previous instance of time, memory is included in the ANN. ANNs without memory, with one-phase memory, and with two-phase memory are investigated in this study. The effect of various training parameters, such as learning coefficient, momentum, temperature, and number of hidden neurons, on these architectures is studied. The findings and experience obtained should facilitate the design and implementation of reliable and economical real-time systems for tool wear monitoring and identification in intelligent manufacturing.     

Tool condition monitoring using reflectance of chip surface and neural network

A wide variety of tool condition monitoring techniques has been introduced in recent years. Among them, tool force monitoring, tool vibration monitoring and tool acoustics emission monitoring are the three most common indirect tool condition monitoring techniques. Using multiple intelligent sensors, these techniques are able to monitor tool condition with varying degrees of success. This paper presents a novel approach for the estimation of tool wear using the reflectance of cutting chip surface and a back propagation neural network. It postulates that the condition of a tool can be determined using the surface finish and color of a cutting chip. A series of experiments has been carried out. The experimental data obtained was used to train the back propagation neural network. Subsequently, the trained neural network was used to perform tool wear prediction. Results show that the prediction is in good agreement with the flank wear measured experimentally.

Research on multi-signal milling tool wear prediction method based on GAF-ResNext

A key aspect impacting the quality and efficiency of machining is the degree of tool wear. If the tool failure is not discovered in time, the quality of workpiece processing decreases, and even the machine tool itself may be harmed. To increase machining quality, efficiency and facilitate the intelligent advancement of the manufacturing industry, tool wear prediction is crucial. This research offers a multi-signal tool wear prediction method based on the Gramian angular field (GAF) and depth aggregation residual transform neural network (ResNext), enabling fast and accurate tool wear prediction. Specifically, the required one-dimensional signal is obtained through preprocessing including intercepting, splicing and wavelet threshold denoising of the force and vibration signals, and GAF is used to encode the obtained one-dimensional signal to generate a (224 × 224) data matrix. ResNext automatically extracts the features of the data matrix, establish the relationship between features and tool wear, and creates a tool wear prediction model based on GAF-ResNext. The ability of this method to predict tool wear has been trained and tested by milling experimental data. The experimental findings demonstrate the real-time, accuracy, dependability and universality of this method. This method has a better effect when compared to other research methods. The study's findings can boost machining productivity and offer technical support for intelligent tool wear early warning and intelligent manufacturing.     

Condition monitoring of the cutting process using a self-organizing spiking neural network map

This paper presents a new approach to sensor based condition monitoring using a self-organizing spiking neuron network map. Experimental evidence suggests that biological neural networks, which communicate through spikes, use the timing of these spikes to encode and compute information in a more efficient way. The paper introduces the basis of a simplified version of the Self-Organizing neural architecture based on Spiking Neurons. The fundamental steps for the development of this computational model are presented as well as some experimental evidence of its performance. It is shown that this computational architecture has a greater potential to unveil embedded information in tool wear monitoring data sets and that faster learning occurs if compared to traditional sigmoidal neural networks.     

Tool wear monitoring and selection of optimum cutting conditions with progressive tool wear effect and input uncertainties

One of the big challenges in machining is replacing the cutting tool at the right time. Carrying on the process with a dull tool may degrade the product quality. However, it may be unnecessary to change the cutting tool if it is still capable of continuing the cutting operation. Both of these cases could increase the production cost. Therefore, an effective tool condition monitoring system may reduce production cost and increase productivity. This paper presents a neural network based sensor fusion model for a tool wear monitoring system in turning operations. A wavelet packet tree approach was used for the analysis of the acquired signals, namely cutting strains in tool holder and motor current, and the extraction of wear-sensitive features. Once a list of possible features had been extracted, the dimension of the input feature space was reduced using principal component analysis. Novel strategies, such as the robustness of the developed ANN models against uncertainty in the input data, and the integration of the monitoring information to an optimization system in order to utilize the progressive tool wear information for selecting the optimum cutting conditions, are proposed and validated in manual turning operations. The approach is simple and flexible enough for online implementation.     

An intelligent system using adaptive wavelet entropy for automatic analog modulation identification

In this paper, an intelligent analog modulation identification system is presented for interpretation of the analog modulated signals. This paper especially deals with combination of the feature extraction and classification for analog modulated signals. The analog modulated signals used in this study are six types (AM, DSB, USB, LSB, FM, and PM). Here, a discrete wavelet neural network-adaptive wavelet entropy (DWNN-ANE) model is used, which consists of two layers: discrete wavelet-adaptive wavelet entropy and multi-layer perceptron neural networks for intelligent analog modulation identification. The discrete wavelet layer is used for adaptive feature extraction in the time-frequency domain and is composed of DWT and adaptive wavelet entropy. The performance of the used system is evaluated by using total 1080 analog modulated signals. These test results show the effectiveness of the used intelligent system presented in this paper. The rate of correct classification is about 98.34% for the sample analog modulated signals.
