An Intelligent System for Grinding Wheel Condition Monitoring Based on Machining Sound and Deep Learning

Abstract

Immediate monitoring of the conditions of the grinding wheel during the grinding process is important because it directly affects the surface accuracy of the workpiece. Because the variation in machining sound during the grinding process is very important for the field operator to judge whether the grinding wheel is worn or not, this study applies artificial intelligence technology to attempt to learn the experiences of auditory recognition of experienced operators. Therefore, we propose an intelligent system based on machining sound and deep learning to recognize the grinding wheel condition. This study uses a microphone embedded in the grinding machine to collect audio signals during the grinding process, and extracts the most discriminated feature from spectrum analysis. The features will be input the designed CNNs architecture to create a training model based on deep learning for distinguishing different conditions of the grinding wheel. Experimental results show that the proposed system can achieve an accuracy of 97.44%, a precision of 98.26% and a recall of 96.59% from 820 testing samples.

An Intelligent System for Improving Electric Discharge Machining Efficiency Using Artificial Neural Network and Adaptive Control of Debris Removal Operations

“…Due to the highly coupled and complex non-linear relationship between the discharge parameters (included electronic and non-electric parameters) and the machining efficiency in the EDM process, it is difficult to establish a general numerical simulation model for selecting the best machining parameters [26]. Recently, AI technologies have demonstrated their outstanding performance in various fields and are continuously emerging [27]- [28]. In EDM field domain, AI technologies can effectively integrate and analyze the tacit knowledge in the EDM process to have experts' analysis ability [7].…”

“…Deep learning has recently become a trendy research topic in the AI field [27]- [28], [34]- [35]; it solves the core problems in representation learning by expressing simpler representations, thereby enabling computers to construct complex concepts from simpler concepts [36]. Generally speaking, a deep neural network is one kind of ANN network architecture; it refers to a feedforward neural network with more than one hidden layer.…”

Machine Learning-Based Wheel Monitoring for Sapphire Wafers

“…Table VII shows the prediction accuracy of each classifier using the F1 score (8), a way to calculate accuracy using the confusion matrix. The F1 score accounts for both precision (9) and recall (10) to reflect accuracy of this model in a balanced way [46]. Figure 11 shows the confusion matrix of the testing data for each classifier.…”

“…The activation layer performs nonlinear conversion through the activation function to obtain the features. Commonly seen activation functions include the Sigmoid (24) and ReLU (25). However, the Sigmoid function has a gradient loss problem.…”

“…The first involves a Finite Impulse Response Filter (FIR) [13], [14] for signal decomposition after which feature extraction is done using Approximate Entropy (ApEn) [15]- [17].The second approach uses a fractional-order Chen-Lee Chaotic system [18], [19] to conduct nonlinear feature mapping and the Chaotic Dynamic Error Centroid and Chaotic Dynamic Error Maps are selected as features of status identification. Finally, the feature extraction data obtained by these two different methods are used for identification by (1) a Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) [20], [21], (2) a Support Vector Machine (SVM) [22], [23] and (3) a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) [24], [25] respectively, to find the most suitable classification model and feature extraction method for signal testing.…”
