ABSTRACT
A new method based on a computer vision and statistical learning system is
proposed to estimate the wear level in cutting inserts and to identify the time for
its replacement. AISI SAE 1045 and 4140 steel bars of 250 mm of length and
90 mm of diameter were machined using a CNC parallel lathe. The image
acquisition system comprised a Pulnix PE2015 B/W camera; a 70XL industrial
zoom, with an extension tube of 1X; several lenses, a DCR®III regulated light
source and a diffuse lighting system. The images were captured by a Matrox
Meteor II card and pre-processed and segmented with Matlab. For each wear
region, a set of 9 geometrical descriptors was obtained. The cluster analysis
revealed the presence of three distinct categories that corresponded to low,
medium and high wear levels. The effectiveness of the classification was
verified by means of a LDA class reconstruction that reported a FowlkesMallows index of 0.8571. The LDA likelihood estimates of the wear region
provide a useful tool insert replacement criterion.

1. INTRODUCTION
The development of on-line measurement systems to report the wear level of
tool inserts in automated metal cutting is an issue of paramount importance for
the control of automated production environments. The production costs cut
down associated to lower human resources requirements ---the supervision of a
machinist is no longer required--- and the benefits of operating at higher cutting
speeds come, unfortunately, at the price of shorter tool lives. Last decade has
witnessed a growing awareness of the increased production benefits related to
extending the use of the tool insert beyond the standard limits. In spite of the
many efforts focused on this issue, the quest for a satisfactory on-line
monitoring solution has not yet reached an end because of the great difficulties
involved in wear measurement.
Turning, milling and drilling [1] are processes involved in the manufacture of the
large majority of goods, which makes the cost of the tool inserts become an
important amount of the items production costs, especially in the unmanned
production context. As reported by Teti [2] and Weckenmann et al. [3], the costs
of the cutting tools and their replacement account for three to twelve percent of
the total production costs. Though small at first glance, these permanent costs
constantly accumulate along the machine life cycle [4]. In addition, about twenty
percent of non-productive time is due, in modern machines, to tool failure [5].
On-line monitoring of the wear level might improve the decision making process
involved in tool insert replacement by means of taking advantage of a based on
2
facts approach instead of relying on the subjective criteria of the machinist.
Such an approach would lead to a forty percent shrink in production costs [6],
a clear business opportunity.
It is very important, therefore, to develop precise methods to predict the tool
wear level, its evolution and remaining useful life. The machine control system
should be able to provide optimized strategies for tool replacement and the
adjustment of tool correctors.
Tool wear measurement studies carried out so far provide interesting
information about the tool condition during the machining operation; however,
the results are limited to the measurement of very particular dimensional
characteristics [1][3][7-11]. It would be interesting to complete this information
with more features to better determine the actual state of the tool. Other
researchers have combined signals coming from different types of sensors,
which is known as sensor fusion [12-15]. However, the bulk of the literature in
this context propose the use of indirect measures obtained from acoustic and
vibration sensors, cutting forces, power or current consumption and others. It
would be adequate as well to consider direct wear measurement so as to
improve the performance.
Wear and its measurement are described in several standards (ISO 3685, ISO
8688, ISO 883, ISO 3364, ISO 6987 and ISO 9361). These standards provide
wear threshold values at several points of the worn region as a reference to
replace the tool insert. However, the technological advances in machines, tools
and part materials have rendered these standards obsolete. The threshold
3
values included in these standards are too conservative for current technology
and, thus, their industrial application is limited. Many studies demonstrate that
machining in good conditions is still possible over these threshold values.
Besides this, practical rules for tool replacement habitually used at industrial
environments are not good enough, since they are based on the planned values
of cutting time, number of parts produced and similar. These rules do not
optimize tool life.
For these reasons, during last years several researchers have been working in
the qualitative and quantitative morphology determination of tool wear, as well
as in tool monitoring systems. State of the art in sensor systems and their
industrial application has been investigated by diverse researchers [5][16-22].
These works classify measurement techniques in two main groups: direct and
indirect methods. Direct methods measure the wear directly on the tool, while
indirect methods use intermediate process variables that are correlated with the
tool wear, such as cutting forces, acoustic and vibration signals and others.
In general, indirect methods ease the tool wear measurement, since they do not
involve a process stop. For this reason, they have been the most popular
methods for years. However, the resulting precision is not as good as that
achieved with direct methods, since the measurement is affected by noise
signals [5][9][21][23]. Therefore the desire for the implementation of direct
methods for wear measurement without machining stops and no tool extraction
from the machine or tool-holder.

A review of monitoring systems is showed in [24]. This paper indicates that
direct optic systems are the most reliable, in spite of their high cost.
Nevertheless, continuous progress has taken place in sensors technology and,
in particular, vision sensors have been specially improved in performance but
also in cost reduction. For this reason, different researchers have used them for
on-line tool wear measurement. In addition, advances in image processing and
artificial intelligence technology provide more reliable image analyses and tool
replacement strategies. The high number of applications cited in the state of the
art demonstrates that computer vision systems are already a mature
technology. However, the identification of different wear morphologies has not
been efficiently achieved yet. This is one of our goals in this research.
State of the art in tool condition monitoring (TCM) using a computer vision
system indicates two work lines: i) systems with directional light for flank wear
measurement [1][5][8-10][25-27] and ii) systems with structured light and 3D
reconstruction for crater wear measurement [3][23][27]. Most of the industrial
applications indicate that the predominant defect that determines tool
substitution is the excessive wear in flank, in contrast with the wear in crater
that is restricted to particular part material - tool material matching.
In consequence, our research is focused in flank wear characterization of
turning tool inserts by means of computer vision techniques together with
classification techniques based on geometric descriptors. The objective is to
identify the morphology and wear level to adopt the corrective actions in each
state.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1. Machining and vision systems
A CNC parallel lathe has been used for the machining with a maximum turning
speed of 2300 rpm. AISI SAE 1045 (20 HB, normalized) and 4140 (34 HB,
tempered) steel bars of 250 mm of length and 90 mm of diameter were
machined. The tool inserts were made of covered tungsten carbide, rhombic,
high tough. Different values were used for the cutting parameters: cutting
speeds (Vc) between 140 and 200 m/min, feed rate (f) of 0,2 mm/rev and depth
of cutting (ap) at 2 mm remain constant. The tool is disassembled and the insert
is located in a tool-fixture after machining a pass along the part; tool-fixture
allows keeping constant the flank location in the image. Additionally, measuring
of roughness and hardness was done on the machined surface [30].
2.2. Image acquisition
Images have been acquired [30] using a Pullnix PE2015 B/W camera with 1/3"
CCD. Digitalization was carried out with a Matrox Meteor II card. The optical
system is composed by a 70XL industrial zoom of OPTEM, with an extension
tube of 1X and 0.5X/0,75X/1.5X/2.0X OPTEM lens. The lighting system is
composed by a DCR®III regulated light source of FOSTEC that provides an
intense cold lighting. A SCDI system of diffuse lighting of NER SCDI-25-F0 is
used to avoid shines. The system provides diffuse lighting in the same direction
6
as the camera axis. Positioning of lighting is carried out by means of a single
bundle of Fostec. Figure 1 shows the machine with the vision system.
Image acquisition is achieved using a developed application that uses the
Matlab Image Acquisition Toolbox. The application has three main modules:
setup of the camera, setup of the sequence and acquisition of the image. These
modules provide information of the capturing device and let the user choose the
resolution, define the information storage path and save the images taken.
2.3. Image processing
With the described vision system, 1383 flank images were acquired. Initially, a
low-pass filter was applied to the image for background blurring and to make
easier the segmentation. Later on, the region of interest is cropped and the
contrast is enhanced by means of a histogram stretching.
After that, the images were segmented manually. The original images, in grey
scale, and the binary segmented images were stored in tiff format with
compression without loss (figure 2). Image processing and geometrical
descriptors extraction were done using Matlab and the Image Processing
Toolbox.
2.4. Image descriptors
The following geometrical descriptors were obtained for each of the 1383 binary
images which resulted from the image segmentation:
a) Area: number of pixels in the wear region.
b) Length of major axis: length of the major axis of the ellipse that has the
same normalized second central moments as the region.
c) Length of minor axis: length of the minor axis of the ellipse that has the
same normalized second central moments as the region.
d) Eccentricity: eccentricity of the ellipse that has the same second moments
as the region. The eccentricity is the ratio of distance between the ellipse
foci, c, and its major axis length, α (1). Value is in the range 0 to 1 (0 and 1
are degenerated cases; an ellipse with eccentricity 0 is a circle, while an
ellipse with eccentricity 1 is a line segment).
e=

e) Orientation: angle in degrees between the x-axis and the major axis of the
ellipse that has the same second moments as the region.
f) Convex area: number of pixels in the Convex Image. Convex Image is the
convex hull with all pixels within the hull filled in. The convex hull of a set
of points S in n dimensions is the intersection of all convex sets containing
S. For N points P1, …, PN, the convex hull C is given by the expression

A vector of features is generated. It is composed by the nine previous values
and describes each of the wear regions.
3. TESTS AND RESULTS
3.1. Determination of the existing wear classes
The collected features allowed us to perform a cluster analysis in order to reveal
the underlying structures supporting the data set. A finite mixture model
approach was adopted, in consideration of the complex nature of the data. For
that purpose, we found extremely useful the implementation of the Mclust
algorithm [31-35] running under R, a free software environment for statistical
computing and graphics [36]. The obtained results suggested the presence of
three clusters that could, eventually, be referred to three distinct wear levels:
low, medium and high.
The Mclust algorithm provides the mixture of multivariate normal models that
best fit the supporting data. Along the way, Mclust takes advantage of the EM
(Expectation Maximization) algorithm [37,38] in order to find the maximum
likelihood set of parameters. The results comprehend not only the optimal
values of the parameters but also some hints about the number of clusters by
means of the Bayesian Information Criterion [39].
Whereas traditional clustering techniques perform a hard partitioning of the data
set, the finite mixture model approach allows each observation - each feature
vector describing the worn region - to belong simultaneously to every cluster.
The degree in which an observation belongs to a certain class depends on its
proximity to the center of the class, a distance that is measured according to the
defining parameters of each cluster.
Of special interest is the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) [40,41] projection of
the data set obtained by considering the class identifiers resulting from the
Mclust algorithm, which is showed in figure 3. The three classes can be better
distinguished by virtue of the boundaries amongst wear clusters that divide the
map in three regions: low worn region (left side), medium worn region (center)
and high worn region (right side).
The LDA approach allows to test the quality of the results provided by the
clustering algorithm; on the basis of considering that a clustering has been
10
correctly determined if their parameters can be used back again to build a
predictive model whose results mimic the original behaviour.
The 1.386 wear observations acquired were classified according to LDA as
follows: 33,91% were assigned to class L (low wear); 45,40% to class M
(medium wear) ; 20,67% to class H (high wear).
The comparison amongst the results obtained by the Mclust algorithm and
those obtained by the prediction performed using the discriminant analysis can
be expressed as a confusion matrix [42], as shown in table 1. The cij element of
the matrix represents the number of elements that simultaneously belong to the
Mi and Lj classes, where Mi is the i-th class identified by the mclust algorithm
and Lj is the j-th class predicted by the LDA.
The information contained in table 1 can be summarized in a single index
following the procedures described by Fowlkes Mallows [43,44]. The FowlkesMallows index resulting from table 1 is 0,8571, a high value that supports the
results of the Mclust cluster analysis.
The LDA projection shows as well the evolution of the wearing process as a
continuum through which the insert tool makes its way from the outset in the low
wearing degree region, to the medium and high wearing degrees.
3.2. Significant features
We also used LDA analysis to select the features from the vector that are more
significant for the classification. It was detected that a 98,63% of the information
necessary to do the classification could be obtained using three of the nine
descriptors. These descriptors are eccentricity, extent and solidity. Table 2
shows the weights of the descriptors in each of the LDA projections made.
3.3. Determination of tool life
The discriminant analysis provides not only an insightful projection of the tool
insert condition onto the wear map, but also the wear evolution followed by
each insert during the machining. This evolution represents the likelihood of
belonging to the dominant class at the current wear map location. This estimate
evaluates the wear level of the insert and, therefore, might be of help in the
development of a tool replacement criterion in order to preserve part tolerances:
should the wear level be at the end of the class M (medium wear), the tool must
be replaced to avoid the entry in class H (high wear).
The evolution of the wearing process can be clearly traced onto the wear map
obtained by the LDA projection, as figure 4 shows. This figure locate the wear
condition of 14 images taken for an insert. The sequence corresponds, from the
left to the right, to an increment in machining time and therefore in tool wear.
The first four observations belong to class L (low wear), the following five are in
class M (medium wear) and the last five observations are in class H (high
wear).
Figure 5 shows the probability of a wear state to belong to each of the three
classes established. This figure contains the same observations as figure 4,
since it corresponds to the same insert. It can be appreciated that the three first
12
observations have a probability of belonging to class L higher than 95%. The
forth and fifth observation show a probability of belonging to classes L and M
higher than 85%. A similar behaviour can be observed in the transition region
between classes M and H; the tenth observation corresponds to class M, but
the probability is lower than 85%; the following observation is included in class 3
but the probability is lower than 75%. The last three observations belong to
class 3 and were acquired before tool replacement due to not practical
machining conditions.
This behaviour is present in every insert tested and allows establishing a tool
life criterion. If a conservative criterion is used, tool life finishes when the
observation reaches values of probability of belonging to class M lower than
85%. Should a less restrictive criterion be desired, the tool insert must be
replaced before the probability of belonging to class H surpasses the 80%
value.
Our tests were done at high cutting speeds to accelerate the wear of inserts. A
drawback of this procedure is that the amount of acquired images were not
enough to provide a smooth evolution, which sometimes produced an abrupt
transition among classes. In standard machining, where a slower rate of wear is
expected, it is possible to use the proposed criterion with the certainty that
machining with highly worn tools will be prevented.
4. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORKS
We have developed a method to establish the wear level of tool cutting inserts.
Our proposal is based on the analysis of the geometrical features of the worn
region image. A computer vision system procures these images as the machine
operates and the discriminant analysis of the geometrical features estimates the
wear level of the tool insert. Should it be superior to a defined threshold, the
monitoring system alerts for its replacement. Such an approach leads to a more
sensible utilization of tool inserts to the benefit of the manufacturing system as a
whole.
The performed analyses provided insights into the monitoring of the wear
process. The linear discriminant analysis based on the wear clusters
distinguished a subset of three out of nine descriptors that accounted for more
than ninety eight percent of the information needed to establish the wear
condition. These were the eccentricity, extent and solidity shape descriptors.
Moreover, the reliability of the model based cluster analysis ---assessed by
means of the Fowlkes-Mallows index--- and the correspondence of the resulting
clusters to three distinct wear levels underpinned our approach.
Future work include automating the images segmentation process for delimiting
the wear region as well as considering other shape descriptors. The former will
ease the industrial implementation of our approach while the latter will further
improve our understanding of the wearing process.
