Abstract: Different sets of measurements carry different amounts of information about the root causes of quality problems in machining. The selection of measurements in multi-station machining systems is ...

Abstract: Machining processes are usually multi-station processes involving a large number of operations and several locating datum changes. Machining errors are thus introduced, transformed and accumulated ...

Abstract: In this paper, a recently introduced model-based method for precedent-free fault detection and isolation (FDI) is modified to deal with multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems and is ...

Abstract: A new anomaly detection scheme based on growing structure multiple model system (GSMMS) is proposed in this paper to detect and quantify the effects of anomalies. The GSMMS algorithm combines ...

Abstract: The classification of workpiece surface patterns is an essential element in trying to understand how functional performance is influenced by the surface geometry. Filter banks have been investigated ...

Abstract: Maintenance management has a direct influence on production performance. Existing works have not systematically taken the on-line production information into consideration in determining maintenance ...

Abstract: Dimensional measurement feedback in manufacturing systems is critical in order to consistently produce quality parts. Considering this, methods and techniques by which to accomplish this feedback ...

Abstract: Tool condition monitoring (TCM) is an important aspect of condition based maintenance (CBM) in all manufacturing processes. Recent work on TCM has generated significant successes for a variety ...
