Abstract

This paper presents a monitoring method for on-line detection and indication of the occurrence of a cutting tool failure during high-speed face milling. The method consists of processing of the vibration signal using a reconfigurable infinite impulse response (IIR) bandpass digital filter and statistical techniques. The healthy tool threshold and the filter passband are adjusted and configured based on the cutting parameters that were set up during the machining process. For this process, sets of filter coefficients are pre-calculated for a number of defined insert passing frequencies ranges. The method is verified on-line during machining tests that are carried out at different tool failure levels and using various cutting parameters. In all experimental tests, the method allows the tool condition to be detected and indicated correctly. The proposed method is therefore shown to be simple, fast, computationally efficient, and reliable for the detection and indication of the presence of several types of tool failures for various cutting parameters, and the use of this method does not require any modification of the machine tool structure.
