Abstract
A method and a system for controlling a machining process of a workpiece is provided. First, information regarding a first set of cutting parameters used during the machining process of the workpiece is obtained. Thereafter, imaging data of at least one chip produced during the machining process of the workpiece is obtained. A chip type of the at least one chip is determined based on the obtained imaging data, and a relation between cutting parameters and chip type is determined based on the used first set of cutting parameters and determined chip type. The relation between cutting parameters and chip type is used to control a subsequent machining process of a workpiece.
Claims16
A method for controlling a machining process of a workpiece, the method comprising:
- obtaining information regarding a first set of cutting parameters used during the machining process of the workpiece;
- obtaining imaging data of at least one chip produced during the machining process of the workpiece;
- determining a chip type of the at least one chip based on the obtained imaging data;
- and
- determining a relation between cutting parameters and chip type based on said used first set of cutting parameters and determined chip type, wherein said relation between cutting parameters and chip type is used to control a subsequent machining process of a workpiece.
A chip evaluation system arranged for controlling a machining process of a workpiece, wherein the chip evaluation system comprises at least one controller configured to:
- obtain information regarding a first set of cutting parameters used during the machining process of the workpiece;
- obtain imaging data of at least one chip produced during the machining process of the workpiece;
- determine a chip type of the at least one chip based on the obtained imaging data;
- and
- determine a relation between cutting parameters and chip type based on said used first set of cutting parameters and determined chip type, wherein said relation between cutting parameters and chip type is used to control a subsequent machining process of a workpiece.
