Research on tool condition monitoring (TCM) using a novel unsupervised deep neural network (DNN)

Abstract

In order to improve the recognition precision and accuracy of tool wear monitoring, an unsupervised deep neural network (DNN) based on stack denoising autoencoder (SDA) is proposed. After feature extraction and selection, the stack denoising automatic coding network reduces the dimensionality of the feature vector. On this basis, principal component analysis (PCA) and T-distributed random neighbor embedding (t-SNE) are used to reduce the dimensionality of the features twice, and finally a simple two-dimensional feature matrix is obtained. Finally, the deep neural network model of SDA is established by adding SoftMax regression layer, and the tool wear monitoring results are taken as new labeled data, and the deep neural network parameters are fine-tuned by secondary backpropagation. The experimental results show that the proposed method can learn adaptively and obtain effective feature expression, and the tool wear state recognition results are highly accurate. The proposed method can effectively identify the tool wear state.
