Abstract
Automated tool wear monitoring and tool breakage detection is an area of tremendous importance in the progress towards fully automating mach ining centres. This paper presents a newly developed machine vision sy stem to monitor war and detect breakage in single-point cutting tools. From the image of a given tool, the developed system extracts five fe atures which are then used in classifying the tool as good, worn or br oken. The results obtained from tests on a laboratory CNC lathe correl ate well with those obtained using conventional techniques.
