Intelligent Turning Tool Monitoring with Neural Network Adaptive Learning by Maohua Du, Peixin Wang, Junhua Wang, Zheng Cheng, Shensong Wang

“…This tool monitoring system has neural network adaptive learning ability with the change of the experimental sample signals which are collected simultaneously by selected vibration and acoustic emission (AE) sensors in all factors turning experiments. Based on LabVIEW and MATLAB hybrid programming, the waveforms of signals are observed and the significant characteristics of signals are extracted through the time-frequency domain analysis and then the calculation of the energy proportion of each frequency band obtained using 4 levels of wavelet packet decompositions of the vibration signal as well as 8 levels of wavelet multiresolution decompositions of the AE signal; the ensuing Relief-F algorithm is used to further reextract the features that are most relevant to the tool state as input of neural network pattern recognition. …”
