Abstract
Chip formation control is an important problem in unmanned machining operations. Short, discontinuous chips are often most desirable to avoid entanglement with tooling and to aid with mechanized removal systems. Chip formation conditions can change during machining, especially with single-point turning. Experiments were conducted on a machining center. Conditions of feedrate-induced segmented chips correlate well with the count rate of acoustic emission (AE). The sensitivity of AE signals to chip congestion or entangling due to continuous chip formation is illustrated.
