Tool Wear Detection in Milling Process Using Long Short-Term Memory Networks: An Industry 4.0 Approach

  • 1 University of Science and Technology AGH, Kraków, Poland

Abstract

Industry 4.0 and the rise of predictive maintenance have led to increased interest in developing efficient and accurate methods for detecting tool wear in manufacturing processes. In this work, we investigate the use of machine learning techniques, specifically Long Short- Term Memory (LSTM) networks, for the detection of tool wear using NASA Milling Data Set. We first preprocess the raw milling data and extract relevant features using signal processing techniques. Then, we train and evaluate the performance of the LSTM network for detecting tool wear in the milling process. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the LSTM network for detecting tool wear, achieving high accuracy and recall scores. Additionally, we compare our results to those obtained using traditional statistical process control methods and highlight the advantages of using machine learning techniques for tool wear detection in the context of Industry 4.0 and predictive maintenance. Our work provides a practical example of how machine learning techniques can be applied to manufacturing processes to improve efficiency and reduce downtime.
