- Abstract:
- The subject of the paper is to describe a mechatronic monitoring tool (MMT) used for evaluation of machined surface during the process of cutting. The integral part of mechatronic tool is a smart sensor. The principle of MMT design is a ability to be used on any lathe. The MMT is composed of several functional elements.
The core element of mechatronic monitoring tool is the smart sensor, which provides the data acquisition and integration. The basis for the sensor to operate isthe surface image sequence acquired during cutting. The images are pre-processed and characterized with the number of irrelevant features. Feature vector is then used byclassifier in decision making process. The smart sensor grants the essential information elaborated in data processing to be used in surface and process monitoring.
In addition, the MMT embraces the mechanical and electrical systems necessary for the tool to be fastened on the lathe and powered. The system must also be equipped with the system for cutting zone cleaning.
The paper concludes with the current research challenges required to expand the application of mechatronics in smart sensor elaboration for machined surface monitoring. - Keywords:
