Tool Life Evaluation Methods of Heavy Forging Hogging Machining Based on Image Processing Technology

Abstract:

In practical production, the evaluation method of tool life that heavy forging shell ring is in hogging machining compare the length of its processing surface in a single direction, the method considers neither the actual cutting distance of cutting tool, nor the impact times sustained by the cutting tool, this paper provides a new method of tool life evaluation based on image processing technology. Through collecting images of processing surface of the work-piece, which contains the different colors and brightness caused by processed and unprocessed, and image processing, analysis and calculation, the new method can accomplish the calculation about the effective cutting distance of cutting tool and the number of impact force about cutting tool, it will be more scientific and more reasonable evaluation method of tool life. Finally, one example is given. New method can be used to provide accurate evaluation of tool life and material machinability for the machining of large forgings.
