Abstract: A framework for intelligent sensors in unmanned machining is proposed. In the absence of human operators, the process monitoring function has to be performed with sensors and associated ...

Abstract: Experimental studies indicate that two types of burrs occur in face milling–primary and secondary burr, which are sensitive to the depth of cut and cutter exit angle. The primary burr is much ...

Abstract: Testing parameters characterizing acoustic emission (AE) detected during metal cutting may be theoretically correlated, in a simple manner, to work material properites, cutting conditions, and tool ...

Abstract: The study of the fiberizing mechanism in the grinding of wood requires specialized laboratory equipment to allow process alteration and data collection. The design and development of a unique ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the potential for using acoustic emission signal analysis for a monitoring technique for process automation as well as a sensitive tool for investigation of grinding ...

Abstract: The industrial energy conservation scenarios developed in this study show the combined effect on energy consumption of implementing a number of conservation measures. The scenarios include assumptions ...

Abstract: The demand for increased productivity of welding operations has led to the expanded use of computer control to allow higher production rates while maintaining weld quality. The charateristics ...

Abstract: A preview servo scheme for position and velocity control is implemented on a two-axis welding table. The Kalman filtering theory is used to estimate the velocity from position measurements, and ...
