Abstract
The wear of an abrasive waterjet nozzle tends to produce unacceptable manufacturing quality. Several approaches for monitoring wear have been proposed in previous works. In this paper, an on-line scheme for the wear monitoring is proposed. This novel scheme is based upon a relationship between the inside diameter of the nozzle and the normal workpiece force. A fuzzy algorithm has been developed for the recognition of the wear state. Using the on-line measure of the normal force and the assumption on the normal distribution of measure error, the determination of the nozzle replacement is made on-line.
