Abstract
A toolholder for use with a cutting element in a cutting process is provided. The toolholder includes at least one sensor arranged for detecting an environmental condition, and a control unit operatively connected to the at least one sensor. The control unit includes a crossbar array of resistive memory devices and a power source operatively connected to the crossbar array. The crossbar array includes a neural network stored thereon, the neural network being arranged to determine a condition of the cutting element or of the cutting process based on the environmental condition detected by the at least one sensor. A cutting tool and a cutting tool assembly is also provided.
