Abstract

In this paper, a new attempt has been made in the area of tool-based micromachining for automated, non-contact, and flexible prediction of quality responses such as average surface roughness (R a), tool wear ratio (TWR) and metal removal rate (MRR) of micro-turned miniaturized parts through a machine vision system (MVS) which is integrated with an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The images of machined surface grabbed by the MVS could be extracted using the algorithm developed in this work, to get the features of image texture [average gray level (G a)]. This work presents an area-based surface characterization technique which applies the basic light scattering principles used in other optimal optical measurement systems. These principles are applied in a novel fashion which is especially suitable for in-process prediction and control. The main objective of this study is to design an ANFIS for estimation of R a, TWR, and MRR in micro-turning process. Cutting speed (S), feed rate (F), depth of cut (D), G a were taken as input parameters and R a, TWR, MRR as the output parameters. The results obtained from the ANFIS model were compared with experimental values. It is found that the predicted values of the responses are in good agreement with the experimental values.
