Monitoring System for Cutting Tool Failure Using an Acoustic Emission Sensor : Vibration, Control Engineering, Engineering for Industry

抄録

Failure 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 failure. However, most of them have some problems from the viewpoint of practical application. In this study, an acoustic emission sensor is used to detect cutting tool failure and a monitoring system which has high reliability is developed. The failure of single-point as well as multipoint cutting tools is successfully detected with the monitoring system developed in this study.
