Abstract

An automation system of machine tools can free operators from simple and hard labor by the automatic loading and unloading of workpieces, and allowance of unmanned operation during nights and holidays. To achieve complete shop floor operations, various works that are manually performed by operators need to be automated as well. It is also crucial to accurately monitor tools to detect tool wear and chip winding during machining. In this study, we propose an on-machine tool condition monitoring system that measures tool length and diameter using images to detect tool breakage and winding chips.
