The great challenge of modern industry is to carry out an online prediction in the shop floor during the machining to define the exact tool breakage instant and simultaneously improve the quality of manufactured products. Acoustic emission sensors have been used to monitoring traditional and non-traditional machining processes. This work shows a study of the online monitoring in the microturning process using an acoustic emission sensor. A factorial design was performed to examine the effect of the feed rate, depth of cut, cooling system, and the type of tool on the response acoustic emission signal. Moreover, the acoustic emission signal was correlated with surface roughness and microhardness. The results showed that the acoustic emission signals are sensitive with the progressive increase in surface roughness and the microhardness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
