Knowledge of the tool wear state in machining has become an important issue in research and industrial application. Current systems use the spindle power or cutting force as measured variable and refer it to a taught set point. However, this method lacks the ability to adapt to new work piece geometries. A new approach focusses on the tool instead of the work piece, and uses a sensory tool holder with integrated strain gauges. This tool holder provides polar figures whose shapes relate to the engagement conditions and whose area is a function of the tool load. As the tool load increases with tool wear, the area of the polar figures provides information about the tool wear status, and with knowledge about the engagement conditions, the model can be calibrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
