In recent years, production has shifted from low-mix high-volume production to high-mix low-volume production and variable-mix variable-volume production. In order to realize variable-mix, variable-volume production, it is necessary to actively promote process integration using multitasking machines and automation using robots. However, there are still issues in the automation of setting optimal cutting conditions and tool life management in response to changes in workpiece types. In a previous study, we developed a system that enables measurement of the minor flank wear width using image processing by photographing the minor flank face a camera mounted on a lathe, and found that the system is effective in measuring different coated tools under dry environments. In this study, the availability of this system for different cutting environments was examined. As a result, it was found that the measurement of the minor flank wear width by image processing was sufficient even in a wet environment.
