- Accurate assessment of grinding wheel wear is essential for optimizing manufacturing processes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a novel grinding wheel wear assessment model named PMSCNN.
- To improve the accuracy and reliability of predicting grinding wheel wear using machine learning.
Main Methods:
- A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Transformer model (PMSCNN) were developed for wear assessment.
- Grinding wheel spindle motor current signals were measured and processed using median filtering.
- Feature importance was analyzed using a gradient boosting regressor, selecting the top four features.
- The PMSCNN model's predictive accuracy was validated using these selected features.
Main Results:
- The PMSCNN model demonstrated good similarity between predicted and real wear trends.
- Cross-validated results showed an average Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 3.028, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 3.938, and R-squared (R²) of 0.919.
- Modular analysis confirmed each component's contribution to the model's performance.
Conclusions:
- The PMSCNN model effectively extracts wear-related patterns from current signals.
