Application of cloud-based machine learning in cutting tool condition monitoring

Abstract

One of the primary technologies in the Industry 4.0 concept refers to Smart maintenance or predictive maintenance that includes continuous or periodic sensor monitoring of physical changes in the condition of manufacturing resources (Condition monitoring). In this way, production delays or failures are timely prevented or minimized. In this context, the paper present a developed cloud-based system for monitoring the condition of cutting tool wear by measuring vibration. This system applies a machine learning method that is integrated within the MS Azure cloud system. The verification was performed on the data of the calculated central moments during the turning process, for cutting tool inserts with different degrees of wear.
