Sensor Monitoring Methods in the Machining of Low-Machinability Materials

This Seminar illustrates the development and implementation of sensor monitoring of machining operations including tool condition monitoring, unmanned machining, process control and, more recently, advanced topics in machining monitoring, innovative signal processing, sensor fusion and related applications. The Seminar reviews the recent contributions of research in these areas and provides an up-to-date comprehensive survey of sensor technologies, signal processing, and decision making strategies for process monitoring. Application examples to industrial processes including reconfigurable sensor systems are reported.
