Abstract

In recent years, a number of machining centers have been built using linear motors. These machining centers have great potential for precision and high-speed machining. Nevertheless, a number of problems remain unsolved, such as monitoring and control. This paper presents a new tool breakage monitoring method for this type of machining center using the current signal of the linear motor. First, the relationship between the cutting force and the motor current is analyzed. Then, the new tool breakage method is presented. From a mathematical point of view, the new method uses a nonlinear energy operator to capture the abrupt changes of the motor current signal, which is directly related to the tool breakage. The experiment validation is included.
