This paper deals with condition monitoring for tool wear during tuning operation. To develop economic sensing and identification methods for turning processes, sound pressure measurement and digital signal processing technique are proposed. To identify noise sources of tool wear and reject background noise, noise rejection methodology is proposed. features to represent condition of tool wear are obtained through analysis using adaptive filter and FFT in time and frequency domain. By using fuzzy pattern recognition, we extract features, which are sensitive to condition of tool wear, from several features and make a decision on tool wear. The validity of the proposed system is condirmed through the large number of cutting tests in two cutting conditions.

The information with regard to the working range of lathe, cutting tool, cutting condition is managed as Database system for turning operation as one part of CAM system. Data with regard to the working range of lathe, cutting tool, cutting condition are stored by the DBMS(Data Base Management System) and can be added, modified, deleted and retrieved for realtime usages. Data stored in Database system are searched to select the most proper cutting tool and cutting condition with the input data fed from the design stage. Codes in regards to tool shape are displayed on graphic mode for easy selection for user and thus presents a good decision support for tool selection. The system developed in this work is operated by the pull down menu on the IBM PC/AT personal computer, or compatible series.

최근의 절삭가공 생산시스템은 무인자동화,고속화,정밀화로 대별되면서 생산성을 극대화시킬려는 방향으로 연구 가 진행되고 있다. 종래의 CNC화된 기계가공시스템에서는 절삭속도,이송속도 그리고 절삭깊이 등과 같은 절삭 조건은 On-line으로 조절되는 장치를 갖지 않고 Off-line으로 프로그래머의 경험이나 절삭가공의 데이터 핸드북을 통하여 결정되어진다. 이러한 절삭조건은 절삭률 즉 생산성의 측면에서 최적의 값이 될 수가 없다. 이는 프로그래머가 측면에서 최적의 값이 될 수가 없다. 이는 프로그래머가 공구의 마모나 표면거칠기, 또는 공작기계의 부하 등을 고려하여 극적으로 NC프로그램을 짜기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점 때문에 현재 개발되어지고 있는 대부분의 적응제어시스템은 실용화가 되지못하고 있는 실정이어서 효휼적인 적응시스템의 개발은 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 무인자동화 가공시스템에서 생산성을 최대화하기 위하여 사용하는 ACO 시스템에서 발생하는 상기의 문제를 해결하여 실용화할 수 있는 가공 최적화 시스템을 개발함을 연구의 목적으로 하고 있다.

The in-process detection of the state of cutting tool is one of the most important technical problem in Intelligent Machining System. This paper presents a method of detecting the state of cutting tool in turning process, by using Artificial Neural Network. In order to sense the state of cutting tool. the sensor fusion of an acoustic emission sensor and a force sensor is applied in this paper. It is shown that AErms and three directional dynamic mean cutting forces are sensitive to the tool wear. Therefore the six pattern features that is, the four sensory signal features and two cutting conditions are selected for the monitoring system with Artificial Neural Network. The proposed monitoring system shows a good recogniton rate for the different cutting conditions.

This paper presents the analytical approaches to predict cutting fluid aerosol formation characteristics in machining process. The prediction model which is based on the rotary atomization theory analyzes aerosol behaviors in terms of size and concentration. Experiments were tarried out to verify the aerosol formation prediction model under various operational conditions. The experimental results which are obtained by Dual-PDA measurement show resonable agreement with prediction results of aerosol concentration. This study can be provided as a basis to estimate and control the hazardous cutting fluid aerosol in machining process in view of environmental consciousness.

This paper presents a new methodology for on-line tool breadage detection by sensor fusion of an acoustic emission (AE) sensor and a built-in force sensor. A built-in piezoelectric force sensor, instead of a tool dynamometer, was used to measure the cutting force without altering the machine tool dynamics. The sensor was inserted in the tool turret housing of an NC lathe. FEM analysis was carried out to locate the most sensitive position for the sensor. A burst of AE signal was used as a triggering signal to inspect the cutting force. A sighificant drop of cutting force was utilized to detect tool breakage. The algorithm was implemented on a DSP board for in-process tool breakage detection. Experiental works showed an excellent monitoring capability of the proposed tool breakage detection system.

In order to make unmanned machining systems with satisfactory performances, it is necessary to incorporate appropriate condition monitoring systems in the machining workstations to provide the required intelligence of the expert. This paper deals with condition monitoring for chatter, tool wear and breakage during turning operation. To develop economic sensing and identiffication methods for turning processes, sound pressure measurement and digital signal processing technique were proposed. We suppressed chatter by stability control methodology, which was studied through manipulation of spindle speeds regarding to chatter frequencies. It was shown that tool wear and fracture were identified and to be estimated by using the wear indices. The validity of the proposed system was confirmed through the large number of cutting tests.

Machining characteristics of tool steels manufactured by electro slag casting process has been investigated in this study. For the estimation of machinability, turning and drilling tests are carried out. The chip shapes at various velocities are investigated for the comparison of turning workabilities of tool steels because the chip shapes reflect characteristics of cutting resistance. In case of drilling test, feed motor currents measured by a hall sensor are used as a measure for the drilling resistance. The machining characteristics of the tool steels are strongly correlated with tensile properties, such as tensile strength, hardness, and ductility. In case of turning workability, it was found to be favoured by the higher tensile strength, while the opposite is true far the drilling workability. The electro-slag casted materials show better turning workability in the viewpoint of chip shapes and, the quenching-tempered electro-slag casted material has relatively better drilling machinability than that of the annealed one.

In this paper, laser-assisted machining(LAM) has been employed to machine hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) Si3N4 work pieces. Due to little residual flaws and porosity, HIPed $Si_3N_4$ work pieces are more difficult to machine compared to normally sintered $Si_3N_4$ workpieces. In LAM, the intense energy of laser was used to enhance machinability by locally heating the workpiece and thus reducing yield strength. In experiments, the laser power ranges from 200W to 800W and the diameter of work pieces is 16mm. While machining, the surface temperature was kept nearly constant by laser heating except for a short period of rise time of max. 58 seconds. Results showed as feed rate increases the surface temperature of $Si_3N_4$ workpieces decreases slightly, whereas the effect of depth of cut is disregardable. With a laser power of 800W, achievable maximal depth of cut as 0.7mm and feed rate was 0.03mm/rev.
