In the assessment of the tool wear state for the spiral edge of milling cutter based on machine vision, the traditional assessment criterion is often inaccurate due to the problem of information missing or incomplete especially near the tip area. In order to deal with this problem, different lighting-condition setting and additional non-image information compensation techniques are needed . In view of this, an integration tool wear detection method combined line laser edge detection and machine vision is proposed. Subsequently, the combined data acquirement experimental system is designed and built, which can simultaneously acquires two types of parameters: diameter and images under the same detection condition. Then, based on the above information, a multi-dimension series assessment criterion is proposed consisting of three dimensions index: The one-dimensional assessment index gives the average wear value of the spiral side, which mainly used as data ordination and characterizes the rule of tool wear degradation; the two-dimensional assessment index describes the contour of the wear region and calculates the area value, which can predict the change of the tool wear stage more precisely; the three-dimensional assessment index gives the 3D morphology by adding depth information within the wear region and quantified the volume of the worn-off part, which provides clues for early warning of the deterioration caused by the tool worn. Experiments proved that the multi-dimension series assessment criterion is helpful to reflect the trend of tool life and give a more accurate assessment of the tool wear state for the spiral edge of milling cutter.
