Abstract
The complex behavior of various occurrences in turning has made the tool condition and process monitoring with a conventional tool-sensor setup difficult. An additional passive tool arrangement has been adopted to circumvent the multifaceted mechanism of different occurrences and thus to investigate them by measuring the acoustic emission (AE), and vibration signals produced thereof. The investigation shows that both the AE and the radial vibration component, Vy can independently assess the chip formation effect on cutting process and tool state. The tangential vibration component, Vz can effectively evaluate the rate of flank wear progression whereas the resultant vibration components are efficient in measuring the surface roughness of workpiece in turning. The feed directional vibration, Vx is always maximal regardless of cutting variables, tool wear, surface roughness, and chip formation type. The application of vibration sensor can eliminate the necessity of the additional passive tool setup, and jointly with the AE sensor can investigate the process and cutting tool condition more promisingly.
