고도로 자동화가 진전된 생산 시스템에서의 가공은 NC 공작기계, 머시닝 센터등에 의해 이루어지고 있으나, 작업 상태에 대한 감시 및 공구교환 시점의 결정은 작업자에 의해 행해지고 있으므로, 무인화에 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 최근 머시닝센터 를 중심으로 가공이 많이 이루어지고 있는 실정에서, 머시닝센터 전체 작업중 대략 40% 정도를 차지하는 드릴 작업에서 공구 상태에 대한 감시는 가공 무인화를 위해서는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 드릴가공시 주축 및 Z축 모터전류와 공구마멸과의 정성적 및 정량적 관련성을 조사하기 위해 전류의 진폭영역 정보인 평균, 분산, 왜도(skewness), 첨도(kurtosis)등의 신호처리를 행하여, 이들값이 공구마멸이 진행됨에따라 변화하는 특성을 조사하였다.

In this paper, monitoring method of tool fracture using motor current was proposed for turning process. In order to take more reliable current signal, cutting force signal was compared as reference signal because cutting force signal is reliable, and analysis of signal correlation between cutting force and motor current was performed. The static components of the cutting force and motor current signals were correlated very well for different cutting conditions, and it was proven to use the motor current as an proper sensor for monitoring of tool fracture. To understand the characteristics of motor current, various kinds of cutting experiment were performed including tool fracture experiments. As a result, a new method to detect tool fracture using motor current in turing was proposed, and a large number of fracture experiments were carried out to evaluate the reliability of the proposed method. Finally, it can be possible to detect the tool fracture reliably.

In modern engineering practice, the grinding process is one of the most important and widely used operations for the precision finishing of components. In this paper, machining characteristics of external plunge grinding were investigated by using spindle motor current signal through hall sensor. Grinding experiments were performed in terms of various grinding conditions such as wheel speed, workpiece speed, infeed rate and spark-out time with conventional vitrified bonded WA wheel. The relationship between spindle motor current signal and metal removal rate in terms of infeed rate was induced the by analyzing spindle motor current signal.

Static variations of cutting forces are estimated using spindle motor current. Static sensitivity of spindle motor current is higher than feed motor current. The linear relationship between the cutting force and RMS value of the spindle motor current is obtained. Using cutting force estimation, tool overload in milling process can be well detected, and cutting force is regulated at a constant level by feedrate adaptive control.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of cylindrical plunge grinding. The study investigates the process using the current signals of a spindle motor through a hall sensor. Grinding experiments were conducted under various conditions such as wheel speeds, workpiece speeds and infeed rates with a conventional vitrified bonded wheel. Analyzing the current signal of the spindle motor, a relationship between current signals and the metal removal rate in terms of the in(red rate is induced. It was also shown that a hall sensor has similar capabilities in evaluation of grinding behavior compared to the AE signals, which are useful far monitoring the grinding process.

현재의 가공 시스템에 있어서 가공 작업자체는 NC 공작기계, 머시닝 센터등에의해 자동적으로이루어 지고있으나, 작업 상태에 대한 감시 및 공구교환 시기의 결정은 주로 숙련된 작업자에 의해이루어 지고 있으므로완전 자동화, 무 인화에 큰장애가 되고 있다. 특히 공구 파손 및 공구 마멸에 대한 감시는 공구 교환 시점의 자동결정 뿐 아니라 가공 시스템의 무인 운전을 위해서 필수적인 것으로, 기계 정지 시간(down time)을 줄일 수 있고, 제품의 정밀도를 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위한 기초 연구로, 가공상태를 나타내는 감시신호로 AC 주축 모터 전류와 주축대진동 신호 를 선정하여 엔드밀 공구와 드릴 공구를 이용한 작업에서의 공구 상태변화에 따른 감시신호의 성능을 조사하였다.

Advanced sensor design and filtering technology have been studied to obtain information for condition monitoring and diagnostics inmachining processes. To develope and economic monitoring system in end milling processes, indirect and reliable type of cutting force estimators were required. In this paper, an estimation method of cutting forces during end milling processes was studied through the measurement of current signals obtained from spindle and feeddrive motors. Cutting force and torque models were derived from the cutting geometry in down milling processes. Relationships between motor currents and cutting forces were also developed in the form of AC and DC components from the developed force models. The validity of the cutting force estimator was confirmed by the experiments under various cutting conditions.

A research on the AFC(Auto Feedrate Control) by a fuzzy controller using a tool dynamometer and motor currents was conducted. For simulations, cutting dynamics of end-milling process was modeled by geometric relationship between tool and work-piece. The fuzzy logic controller was employed to track the desired cutting force and showed good performance in simulations and several experiments. The spindle motor currents was modeled to estimate cutting force and successfully used for the AFC.
