ABSTRACT:
Vibrations at the cutting tool-workpiece interface are sensed and the accelerometer output is preprocessed to yield a cutting noise vibration signal. Digital analysis of the sampled signal is performed to detect a gradual cutting noise signal level decrease tool break signature, either continuously decreasing or decreasing in a series of small abrupt steps. A tool break alarm is generated, without false alarming on metal-to-air tool path transitions, as the mean cutting noise signal level falls below an upper check limit and, after a preset time has elapsed, crosses a lower check limit.
