| description | Tool condition monitoring (TCM) systems are essential in milling operations to guarantee the product’s quality, and when they are paired with indirect measuring techniques, such as vibration or acoustic emission sensors, the monitoring can happen without sacrificing productivity. Some more advanced techniques in tool wear estimation are based on supervised machine learning algorithms, like several other applications in Industry 4.0’s context; however, a satisfactory performance can be obtained with simple techniques and low computational power. This work focuses on an application of tool wear estimation using a simple backpropagation neural network in a milling dataset. Statistical techniques, i.e., the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis, were used as features that were extracted from indirect measurements from vibration and acoustic emission sensors’ data in a real milling testbench dataset containing multiple experiments with sensor data and a direct measure of the flank wear (VB) in most instances. The data were preprocessed, specifically to acquire clean and normalized values for the neural network training, assuming that the VB measure would be the target variable used to predict tool wear; all incomplete samples without a VB measure, as well as outliers, were removed beforehand. The train and test subsets were chosen randomly after making sure that the maximum values of every variable were represented in the training subset. A multiple topology approach was implemented to test the configurations of multiple backpropagation neural networks to determine the most suitable one based on two performance criteria, i.e., the mean absolute percent error (MAPE) and variance. Although only a simple backpropagation algorithm was used, the results were adequate to demonstrate a balance between accuracy and computational resource usage. |
