본 연구에서는 공구의 파손 및 마멸량을 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하고자 하였다. CCD(charge coupled device)카메라를 통해 공구형상의 영상을 얻고 이를 PC 로 분석하는 영상처리 기법과, 여기서 계산된 정보를 이용하여 패턴인식 기법으로 공 구의 상태를 판정하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다.
In unmanned machining, One of the most essential issue is the tool management system which includes controlling. identification, presetting and monitoring of cutting tools. Especially the monitoring of tool wear and fracture may be the heart of the system. In this study a computer vision based tool monitoring system is developed. Also an algorithm which can determine the tool condition using this system is presented. In order to enhance practical adaptability the vision system through which two modes of images are taken is located over the rake face of a tool insert. And they are analysed quantitatively and qualitatively with image processing technique. In fact the morphologies of tool fracture or wear are occurred so variously that it is difficult to predict them. For the purpose of this problem the pattern recognition is introduced to classify the modes of the tool such as fracture, crater, chipping and flank wear. The experimental results performed in the CNC turning machine have proved the effectiveness of the proposed system.
