Real-time monitoring systems have been developed for tooling machine for the purpose of investigating the time-dependent cutting conditions, to detect instantaneous events, and to estimate life of cutting tools and the machine itself. An Energy-based Reliability Model (ERM) has been developed for real-time monitoring of cutting conditions. A standardized inspection process was defined and the two most sensible signals, vibrational signals and temperature increments, are collected to monitor the accumulation of dissipated energy during the tooling processes. The ERM then computes the normalized accumulative dissipated energy in replace of evaluating surface quality of workpiece at the end of each tooling process. This paper focuses on the implementation of ERM in the turning process on a lathe. The experimental results showed the dissipated energy linearly grows with respect to the amount of volume removal from the workpiece. The ERM built from the experimental results under the same condition were then utilized to estimate the turning performance under different experimental conditions. As a result, similar trends of dissipated energy versus volume removal were found. Therefore, ERM can be utilized to estimate a reliable replacement time of cutting tool in tooling machines.

This paper presents an automatic program to track in moving objects, using segmentation algorithm quickly and efficiently after the division of a moving object, in the follow-up frame through the establishment of inter-frame vectors to track moving objects of interest. Experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately and effectively track moving objects of interest, and because the algorithm is simple, the computational complexity is small, can be well positioned to meet real-time monitoring system in the extraction of moving objects of interest and tracking needs.

Due to their high hardness and wear resistance, Si3N4 based ceramics are one of the most suitable cutting tool materials for machining cast iron, nickel alloys and hardened steels. However, their high degree of brittleness usually leads to inconsistent results and sudden catastrophic failures. This necessitates a process optimization when machining superalloys with Si3N4 based ceramic cutting tools. The tools are expected to withstand the heat and pressure developed when machining at higher cutting conditions because of their high hardness and melting point. This paper evaluates the performance of α-SiAlON tool in turning Ti–6Al–4V alloy at high cutting conditions, up to 250 m min−1, without coolant. Tool wear, failure modes and temperature were monitored to access the performance of the cutting tool. Test results showed that the performance of α-SiAlON tool, in terms of tool life, at the cutting conditions investigated is relatively poor due probably to rapid notching and excessive chipping of the cutting edge. These facts are associated with adhesion and diffusion wear rate that tends to weaken the bond strength of the cutting tool.

In this study, the reliability-dependent hazard rate function is used to describe the reliability of the cutting tools. The reliability equation has been evaluated via normalization treatment. The reliability function of the cutting tool under different cutting speed can be obtained respectively by using this reliability equation. The experimental results proved that the reliability equation evaluated from this study is accurate and feasible.

In this paper, we present a vision system with a special camera for knowledge-based real-time monitoring of the inside of a fluid bed heat exchanger (FBHE) chamber in a thermal power plant. With the proposed system, it is possible to monitor the internal flux condition and analyze the inner temperature of a chamber. Due to the fact that the mixture of coal and sand inside a chamber flows by very quickly, there is an immense amount of smoke and dust, which make it difficult to capture images and analyze an existing system. An adaptive average method is proposed here to observe the background internal environment of an FBHE chamber. The experimental results show that real-time monitoring is possible, even under hot and dusty conditions. Preliminary experimental results confirm expectations about the possibility and effectiveness of the developed device for commercialized real-time monitoring systems. They demonstrate that a single camera with embedded image processing software can concurrently analyze the degree of fluidization of a mixture and the temperature of the chamber inside, even in extremely harsh and hazardous conditions. We aim to eventually develop an image analysis system that combines image processing and knowledge engineering techniques.

The paper highlights the methods to define wear intensity of cutting tools using the theory of similarity. The dimensionless numbers of the cutting procedures, which are necessary in calculating cutting tool wear intensity, are defined with regard to the cutting conditions, cutting tool geometry, and the physico-mechanical properties of the work stock and the tool materials.

The time-variant reliability and its sensitivity of cutting tools under both wear deterioration and an invariant machining condition are analyzed. The wear process is modeled by a Gamma process which is a continuous-state and continuous-time stochastic process with the independent and nonnegative increment. The time-variant reliability and its sensitivity of cutting tools under six cases are considered in this paper. For the first two cases, the compensation for the cutting tool wear is not carried out. For the last four cases, the off-line or real-time compensation method is adopted. While the off-line compensation method is used, the machining error of cutting tool is supposed to be stochastic. Whether the detection of the real-time wear is accurate or not is discussed when the real-time compensation method is adopted. The numerical examples are analyzed to demonstrate the idea of how the reliability of cutting tools under the invariant machining condition could be improved according to the methods described in this paper.

Abstract The operation of a heading machine with an out-of-work cutting tool can cause essential reduction of the machine element resource. The diagnostics of the cutting tool breakdown on the longitudinal axial cutting head in the real - time mode can be implemented on the basis of the spectral decomposition of the current of the cutting engine of the cutting unit. The ratio of the coefficients of the spectral decomposition corresponding to the cutting head rotation frequency and its threefold value can be the parameter under the diagnosis.
