    Condition monitoring of face milling tool using K-star algorithm and histogram features of vibration signal
    (Elsevier B.V., 2016) Madhusudana, C.K.; Kumar, H.; Narendranath, S.
    This paper deals with the fault diagnosis of the face milling tool based on machine learning approach using histogram features and K-star algorithm technique. Vibration signals of the milling tool under healthy and different fault conditions are acquired during machining of steel alloy 42CrMo4. Histogram features are extracted from the acquired signals. The decision tree is used to select the salient features out of all the extracted features and these selected features are used as an input to the classifier. K-star algorithm is used as a classifier and the output of the model is utilised to study and classify the different conditions of the face milling tool. Based on the experimental results, K-star algorithm is provided a better classification accuracy in the range from 94% to 96% with histogram features and is acceptable for fault diagnosis. © 2016 Karabuk University

    Fault diagnosis of single-point cutting tool using vibration signal by rotation forest algorithm
    (Springer Nature, 2019) Aralikatti, S.S.; Ravikumar, K.N.; Kumar, H.
    In various machining operations, the tool condition monitoring (TCM) is highly necessary to avoid uncertain downtime in production. TCM provides continuously the condition of cutting tool by noticing various parameters such as temperature, acoustic emission and vibration. One of the best ways to monitor the condition of cutting tools for unmanned machining is by observing tool vibration signature. In the present work, vibration signals are acquired from the cutting tool. One healthy state and three faulty conditions of tools are considered for the study. The faulty tools considered in the current study are worn flank, broken tool and extended overhang. The vibration signals of these faulty tool conditions are used to train the machine learning algorithm. Statistical features are extracted from the vibration signal to feed as input to the J48 decision tree. The classifier algorithm used in the current study is rotation forest algorithm. The algorithm uses only significant features which are selected from a decision tree. The algorithm is validated with test dataset to recognize the faulty or healthy state of the tool. It was found that the algorithm could classify the tool condition with 95.00% classification accuracy. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Comparative study on tool fault diagnosis methods using vibration signals and cutting force signals by machine learning technique
    (Tech Science Press sale@techscience.com, 2020) Aralikatti, S.S.; Ravikumar, K.N.; Kumar, H.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Sugumaran, V.
    The state of cutting tool determines the quality of surface produced on the machined parts. A faulty tool produces poor surface, inaccurate geometry and non-economic production. Thus, it is necessary to monitor tool condition for a machining process to have superior quality and economic production. In the present study, fault classification of single point cutting tool for hard turning has been carried out by employing machine learning technique. Cutting force and vibration signals were acquired to monitor tool condition during machining. A set of four tooling conditions namely healthy, worn flank, broken insert and extended tool overhang have been considered for the study. The machine learning technique was applied to both vibration and cutting force signals. Discrete wavelet features of the signals have been extracted using discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). This transformation represents a large dataset into approximation coefficients which contain the most useful information of the dataset. Significant features, among features extracted, were selected using J48 decision tree technique. Classification of tool conditions was carried out using Naïve Bayes algorithm. A 10 fold cross validation was incorporated to test the validity of classifier. A comparison of performance of classifier was made between cutting force and vibration signal to choose the best signal acquisition method in classifying tool fault conditions using machine learning technique. © 2020 Tech Science Press.

    A Comparative Study on Tree-Based Classifiers for Condition Monitoring of Face Milling Tool
    (Springer, 2025) Viswanathan, P.C.; S, N.V.; Mahanta, T.K.; Kumaraswamy, M.C.; Kumar, H.; Sugumaran, S.
    Background: This study delves into the significance of face milling tools in machining, emphasizing the need for timely fault diagnosis to enhance the efficiency of manufacturing processes. By examining defect scenarios such as flank wear, breakage and chipping, along with a reference for good tool condition, the research aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize manufacturing performance. Methodology: Vibration signals generated during milling operations are analyzed to identify tool faults. A feature extraction process incorporating statistical, histogram, and ARMA features is employed to gain a nuanced understanding of tool behavior. Feature selection is performed using the J48 decision tree algorithm which helps identify the most relevant features. Subsequently, 13 tree-based classifiers are applied to classify tool faults effectively. Results: A comparative analysis of classification outcomes provides practical insights into the most effective features for fault diagnosis in milling tools. The study’s findings show that the combination of ARMA features with Extra trees achieved an impressive accuracy of 96.88% for milling tool fault diagnosis. The outcomes from the study contribute to real-world applications by enhancing diagnostic methodologies, ultimately advancing fault detection and classification in machining processes. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
