In this paper, monitoring method of tool fracture using motor current was proposed for turning process. In order to take more reliable current signal, cutting force signal was compared as reference signal because cutting force signal is reliable, and analysis of signal correlation between cutting force and motor current was performed. The static components of the cutting force and motor current signals were correlated very well for different cutting conditions, and it was proven to use the motor current as an proper sensor for monitoring of tool fracture. To understand the characteristics of motor current, various kinds of cutting experiment were performed including tool fracture experiments. As a result, a new method to detect tool fracture using motor current in turing was proposed, and a large number of fracture experiments were carried out to evaluate the reliability of the proposed method. Finally, it can be possible to detect the tool fracture reliably.

Fracture of a cutting tool is one of the most serious problems in machining systems. Therefore, several methods have been proposed so far to detect cutting tool fracture. However, most of them have some problems from the viewpoint of practical applications. In this study, the feasibility of using acoustic emission and cutting force signals for the detection of massive tool breakages as well as small fracture of cutting tools were investigated. Turning experiments were performed using conventional carbide inset tools under realistic cutting conditions and the SM45C steel and heat treated SM45C steel were used as a workpiece. And the sensitivities of the AE and cutting force signals to the fracture of cutting tools were illustrated. Finally, a detection algortithm for the fracture of cutting tools was developed through the analysis of these dual signals in the several types of tool fracture.

So far the analysis and modeling of cutting process is studied commonly assumed as being linear stochastic or chaotic without experimental verification. So we verified force signals of cutting process(ball end-milling) is low-dimensional chaos by calculating Lyapunov Exponents. reconstructing attractor using time delay coordinates and calcula-ting it's fractal dimension.

Automatic monitoring of cutting process is one of the most important technologies for increasing the stability and the reliability of unmanned manufacturing system. In this study, basic methods which use the acoustic emission (AE) signals and cutting forces were proposed to monitor flank wear (width of flank wear) quantiatively. First, in order to detect flank wear, it was investigated that the influence of cutting conditions, that is, cutting velocity, feed and depth of cut, on AE signals (${AE_rms}$) and cutting forces. Furthermore, the relation between flank wear and the measured signals (${AE_rms}$, cutting force) was discussed.

The detection of cutting tool states in machining is important for the automation. The information of cutting tool states in metal cutting process is uncertain. Hence a industry needs the system which can detect the cutting tool states in real time and control the feed motion. Cutting signal features must be sifted before the classification. In this paper the Fisher's linear discriminant function was applied to the pattern recognition of the cutting tool states successfully. Cutting conditions and cutting force para- meters have shown to be sensitive to tool states, so these cutting conditions and cutting force paramenters can be used as features for tool state detection.

Static variations of cutting forces are estimated using spindle motor current. Static sensitivity of spindle motor current is higher than feed motor current. The linear relationship between the cutting force and RMS value of the spindle motor current is obtained. Using cutting force estimation, tool overload in milling process can be well detected, and cutting force is regulated at a constant level by feedrate adaptive control.

This paper deals with an experimental technique for monitoring machining conditions by analyzing cutting-force vibration measured at a milling machine. This technique is based on the relationship of the cutting-force vibrations with the feed rate and cutting depth as reported earlier. The measurement system consists of dynamic force transducers and a signal amplifier. The analysis system includes an oscilloscope and a computer with a LabVIEW program. Experiments were carried out at various feed rates and cutting depths, while the rotating speed was kept constant. The magnitude of the cutting force vibration component corresponding to the number of cutting edges multiplied by the frequency of rotation was linearly correlated with the machining conditions. When one condition of machining is known, another condition can be identified by analyzing the cutting-force vibration.

In machine tools, frictional force exists between the table and the guideways, and in ballscrews. In this paper, feed motor current measured by a hall sensor is used to calculate the motor torque. Some frictional phenomena are studied in feed drive systems, such as the relationship between feedrate and frictional torque, and chip cover effects on frictional torque. Considering frictional phenomena, the relation- ship between the feed froce and the feed motor current id obtained. Feed force can be well estimated by feed motor current measurement considering frictional behavior. The relationship between the cutting force and the feed motor current is slightly different between up milling and down milling due to the effect of y direc- tional cutting force on frictional torque.

This study shows how the change of helix angle for different helix angle end mill affects machining accuracy. It was verified that cutting forces are remarkably low when endmill has helix angle of different helix angle $25^{\circ}\;, \; 31^{\circ}\; , \; 37^{\circ}$and AE signals have less relationship with the chance of helix angle Moreover, as the number of rotations are increased, the AE signals are increased with the proportion to the number but cutting forces are inversely proportional to the rotation.

가공 프로세스의 감시에 대한 많은 연구는 주로 과부하, 공구파손, 공구마멸, 채터링, 충돌 승을 대상으로 한 것으로, AE(Acoustic Emission), 모터전류, 절삭력, 진동, 절삭온 도 등의 신호를 감지한 뒤 이들 신호에 각종 신호 처리를 행하여 가공 상태에 대한 정보를 추출하고, 그것에 근거한 감시를 하고 있다. 작업중 감시연구에서 주로 제기 되는 문제는 공구교환이나 공작물 교환에 무관하게 또 작업에 지장을 주지 않으면서 이들 신호를 감지해야 하는 점과 감시처리의 신뢰성을 높여야 하는 점이다. 본 연구에서는 NC프로그램으로 부터 얻은 예측정보를 이용해서 선삭가공에서 감시 시스템의 성능향상을 시도 하였다. 예측정보는 감시코드의 형태로 각 NC블럭에 추가하여 실시간 감시에서 작업의 상태를 인식할 때 참고 정보로 활용하기 때문에 감시에 대한 신뢰성을 높일 수 있었다. 감시신호로는 이송축 직류 서보 모터의 전류를 사용하였다. 전체적인 감시 시스템의 프로그래밍 언어로는 C 를 사용하여, 실시간 감시처리를 가능하게 하였다.
