Sensor Fusion Strategy in the Monitoring of Cutting Tool Wear

Abstract:

Cutting tool wear is a major problem in machining processes. It has a great effect on the quality of a workpiece. Thus, monitoring cutting tool wear is very important in order to maintain the workpiece quality as well to reduce production rate and production time. The use of a single sensor in a monitoring system may not be accurate to detect cutting tool wear. In this paper, sensor fusion technology is introduced for monitoring cutting tool wear.
