Abstract

In the present study, an attempt has been made to predict flank wear during milling operation with the help of signal processing and machine learning techniques. The vibration and acoustic emission signals obtained from the spindle of milling machine with variations in feed and depth of cut are decomposed into various levels using symlet wavelet. To select the best level permutation entropy criteria were applied. Level giving minimum permutation entropy was selected for the calculation of statistical features. Eleven statistical features such as skewness, kurtosis, mean, etc. were extracted from symlet wavelet and feature vector is formed. To select the relevant features, correlation-based feature selection criterion was used for reducing the size of feature vector. Feature vector with vibration signals and acoustic emission signals is fed into machine learning techniques such as linear regression and K-Star to predict the flank wear measured during milling operation. It is observed that K-Star gives higher prediction rate of tool wear with both training and testing of the classifier and feature vector with the reduced feature set with acoustic emission signals gives better prediction accuracy compared to vibration signals.
