Process monitoring & analysis based on machining data - predictive quality for thin-walled freeform surfaces

Can predictive quality for surface roughness be improved by fusion of simulation and sensory data?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Varying surface quality during machining due to occurring vibrations.
  • Expensive quality assurance and visual inspection due to varying surface quality.

Objective

  • Investigation of potentials and limitations for predictive quality of surface roughness.
  • Evaluation of surface roughness based on acquired process data (machine controller + external sensors).
