During manufacturing, the performance of a cutting tool is largely dependent on the conditions prevailing over the tool-work interface. This is mostly dependent on the status of the cutting tool and work material. Acoustic emission studies have been performed on carbon/phenolic composite using PCD and PCBN tools for tool condition monitoring. The studies have enabled to understand the tool behaviour at different cutting speeds.

Acoustic emission (AE) is introduced for tool condition monitoring during the coroning process. The frequency components of the AE signal were used as features for classification. Two different feature selection methods were investigated, namely visual observation and the class mean scatter criterion. The minimum error rate Bayesian rule was used to distinguish between two extreme tool conditions. Although the features from visual observation could result in 100% classification, features based on the class mean scatter criterion showed excellent monitoring capability of tool failure when fewer features were used.

In high-speed cutting processes, late replacement of defective tools may lead to machine breakdowns and badly affect the product quality, which subsequently lead to scrap parts and high process costs. Accurate tool condition detection is essential to achieve high level of competitiveness via increasing process productivity and standardizing the quality of the produced parts. Therefore, tool condition monitoring (TCM) systems have been widely emphasized as an important principle to achieve these industrial demands. Several studies for TCM were carried out to capture tool failure using complex conventional and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. However, these studies suffer from the absence of standardization and generalization. Hence, this paper presents a robust and reliable processing technique for the cutting process signals to extract generalized features in time and frequency domains. The proposed technique masks the effects of the cutting conditions on the extracted features and accentuates the tool condition effect. Characterization and statistical analysis of the processed features were performed to examine their sensitivity to the tool condition. The results revealed the processing technique capability to separate the features extracted from the spindle motor current signals into two mutually exclusive clusters according to their tool condition. The statistical analysis results were employed to optimize the tool condition detection approach using linear discrimination analysis (LDA) model. The results indicate the capability of the processing technique to minimize the system learning effort and to detect tool wear above the threshold level with accuracy above 90%.

In this work, an online acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system is developed, to investigate the effect of tool wear during the microturning of titanium alloy with a tungsten carbide insert of nose radius 0.1 mm. The AE signal parameters were analyzed in time domain, frequency domain and discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) techniques to correlate with the tool wear status. The root mean square (AERMS) and specific AE energies are also computed for the decomposed AE signals, using the DWT. The results demonstrated that dominant frequency and DWT techniques are found to be most suitable for online tool condition monitoring, using AE sensors in the microturning of titanium alloy.
