In turning the chip may be produced in the form of continuous chip or discontinuous one. Continuous chips produced at high speed machining may hit the newly cut workpiece surface and adversely affect the appearance of the surface finish and may interfere with tool and sometimes induce tool fracture. In this study relationship between AE signal and chip form was experimentally investigated, The experimental results show that types of chip form are possible to be classified from the AE signal using fuzzy logic.

In order to achieve high flexibility in manufacture, chip control is one of the most serious problems at present. The continuous type chip (uncontrolled chip), which interrupts the normal cutting process and damages the operator, tool and workpiece have a higher force ratio. while the controlled chip which is 6 or 9 type and C type, has the values of the force ratio below 0.6 The chips were classified by 4 types. in chip formation and by described chip history during the cutting process. Finally, the feasibility of utilizing force ratios in chip control will be pointed out while comparing generated force signals during the cutting process.

The chips may be produced in the form of either broken chips or unbroken chips in turning process. The unbroken chips are dangerous to the operator and difficult to handle at high speed machining. The signal of Acoustic Emission is related to cutting conditions, tool materials, test conditions and tool geometry in turning. The relationship between AE signal and chip formation was experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that two types of chip formations are possible to classify from the statistical analysis of the amplitude of AE signal. The AE-sensor could be used to monitor the chip condition in turning.
