W. Grzesik et P. Bernat, AN INVESTIGATION OF THE CUTTING PROCESS FOR CHIP BREAKING MONITORING IN TURNING OF STEELS, Journal of manufacturing science and engineering, 120(3), 1998, pp. 555-562
This paper presents some results of an experimental study on chip brea
king monitoring when turning steels with chill forming inserts. In the
first part of this study the recognition of chip forms by means of cu
tting force analysis in the frequency domain is described. Generally,
the present work is concerned with the use of the interface control fa
ctor for determining the transition from unacceptable chip forms to th
e chip breaking. For this purpose experiments Lander approximately ort
hogonal machining conditions including measuring the sheer strain, the
cutting energy and the average interface temperature are carried out.
The obtained results confirmed that the initiation of acceptable chip
breaking for a wide range of cutting conditions and the three steels
used could be predicted in terms of an appropriate energy consumption
rate. An architecture for on-line cutting state monitoring system base
d on signal processing procedure in the frequency domain is developed
and the performance of the system is experimentally evaluated.
