RESEARCH ON ON-LINE MONITORING OF SELFADAPTING TOOL WEAR BASED ON WORKING STEP

An on-line monitoring algorithm of tool wear with working step as a unit in machining process based on adaptive learning is proposed. By collecting the motor current signal, the RMS (root mean square) of original current signal is extracted as the characteristic quantity, then the characteristic quantity RMS is statistically analyzed based on the method called SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions), it is concluded that the RMS value of current signal approximately obeys normal distribution during the monitoring time period with working step as a unit, and by introducing the distribution coefficient K, the approximation error is reduced. On this basis, a self-learning algorithm for boundary mathematical model of tool. wear monitoring with working step as a unit is proposed. The experimental results show that in semi-finishing and finishing, the monitoring model can be formed quickly and the monitoring effect is satisfactory, which is convenient to apply.
