Application of thin film PRTD's for the monitoring of cutting tool temperature during turning

A tool condition monitoring system will reduce machine downtime, eliminate tool/workpiece destruction, and maximize tool life. Several of the cutting tool failure modes are cutting temperature-dependent. One of the cutting parameters to be monitored is the cutting temperature. On-line cutting tool t...
