Motor Current Characterisation Based on Modulation Signal Bispectrum for Online Monitoring of Machining Operations
Current Analysis Using a Modulation Signal Bispectrum for Machining Status Monitoring
Universal lathes currently have a place in manufacturing industry. Its processing status monitoring is an urgent problem to be solved because it is related to the quality of produced products. Traditional monitoring methods mainly use vibration sensors to monitor a lathe. This paper proposes the use of a modulated signal bispectrum (MSB) method to analyse current signals of a AC motor, which can monitor the machining state of a lathe connected with a motor. It applies MSB to instantaneous current signals measured step by step in turning experiments of different cutting tools to obtain accurate modulation characteristics and their evolution behavior with a change of workpiece size and cutting depth, to realize the monitoring of machining status. Results show that MSB is more effective than envelope spectrum analysis in extracting the characteristic values of treatment states.</p
Study on Condition Monitoring of Lathe Cutting State under Various Cutting Conditions Based on Motor Current Signature Analysis
Lathe machining occupies a large proportion in modern production and processing, which affects the machining accuracy of the workpiece and results in vibration and noise of the machine tool. To improve the efficiency of lathe cutting state monitoring, this paper presents a new method on studying the monitoring of lathe tool, with Motor Current Signal Analysis (MCSA) as the main research method, the characteristics of stator's working current are selected as the analysis object. Three cutting depths, 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm are respectively performed on the same workpiece material, and the cutting conditions are blunt tool and sharp tool. The frequency characteristic of the current is analyzed the under various cutting conditions mentioned above and the internal relation of the current variation and the cutting condition is presented as the conclusion of this paper, by which provides a new idea for the research of conditions monitoring and fault diagnosis in field operation on lathe tool.</p
