Summary
This study introduces a new method for monitoring tool wear using cutting force signals and a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN). The approach accurately detects tool wear conditions in precision manufacturing.
Area of Science:
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Signal Processing
- Machine Learning
Background:
- Tool wear monitoring is critical in precision manufacturing for maintaining product quality and process efficiency.
- Cutting force signals contain valuable dynamic information about tool wear states.
- Existing methods may struggle with the nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics of tool wear signals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel multivariate cutting force-based method for tool wear condition monitoring.
- To leverage the power of one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D CNN) for enhanced monitoring accuracy and stability.
- To develop a robust system for real-time tool wear assessment in machining processes.
Main Methods:
- Multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) was applied to process multivariate cutting force signals, extracting multivariate band-limited intrinsic mode functions (BLIMFs).
- Modified multiscale permutation entropy (MMPE) was utilized to quantify the complexity and extract condition indicators from the BLIMFs.
- One-dimensional feature vectors were constructed from the entropy values and fed into a 1D CNN for classification of tool wear conditions.
Main Results:
- The MVMD successfully decomposed cutting force signals into informative BLIMFs, capturing nonlinear and nonstationary tool wear characteristics.
- MMPE effectively generated condition indicators reflecting the complexity of the extracted BLIMFs across multiple scales.
- The 1D CNN model achieved accurate and stable tool wear condition monitoring using the derived feature vectors.
Conclusions:
- The proposed method, integrating MVMD, MMPE, and 1D CNN, offers a promising approach for effective tool wear monitoring.
- This technique demonstrates significant potential for improving precision manufacturing through reliable condition monitoring.
- The developed methodology provides a robust framework for analyzing complex cutting force dynamics for tool wear assessment.
