MicroEye : A low-cost online tool wear monitoring system with modular 3D-printed components for micro-milling application.

ABSTRACT: Tool detachment during the machining process is often required by many image-based tool wear monitoring (TWM) systems. Tool detachment prevents the online mode of the wear measurement, extends the machining time, and contributes to measurement inaccuracy. Other alternatives of the image-based TWM systems have been developed with the image-acquisition device located statically near the tool position without the requirement for the tool detachment. However, due to its proximity to the machining site, the image-acquisition device may experience obstruction from the workpiece chips and the splash of coolant fluid during the machining process, resulting in non-optimal TWM. This article presents MicroEye - an online image-based TWM system with modular 3D-printed components to overcome the two pr
