This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of adding CNC parameter monitoring functionality using OPC UA to the existing HMI for CNC grinding machines, specifically focusing on maintaining machining precision for ferrous materials despite changes in grinding wheel diameter post-dressing. Three workpieces, each ground with different wheel diameters (WD162.24, WD162.22, WD162.20), were subjected to profile error measurements at various angles within a ±4.0μm tolerance range. The elliptical shape of the workpieces required diameter measurements across a 90-degree section. Results indicated that, despite slight deviations, all workpieces remained within the specified tolerance range, demonstrating that the OPC UA-based monitoring system effectively maintains machining precision after wheel dressing. This suggests significant potential for improving grinding processes for ferrous materials using OPC UA-integrated CNC systems.

Anomaly detection for each industrial machine is recognized as one of the essential techniques for machine condition monitoring and preventive maintenance. Anomaly detection of industrial machinery relies on various diagonal data from equipped sensors, such as temperature, pressure, electric current, vibration, and sound, to name a few. Among these data, sound data are easy to collect in the factory due to the relatively low installation cost of microphones to existing facilities. We develop a real time anomalous sound detection (ASD) system with the use of Autoencoder (AE) models in the industrial environments. The proposed processing pipeline makes use of the audio features extracted from the streaming audio signal captured by a single-channel microphone. The pipeline trains AE model by the collected normal sound. In real factory applications, the reconstruction error generated by the trained AE model with new input sound streaming is calculated to measure the degree of abnormality of the sound event. The sound is identified as anomalous if the reconstruction error exceeds the preset threshold. In our experiment on the CNC milling machining, the proposed system shows 0.9877 area under curve (AUC) score.

In the process of cutting large aircraft parts, the tool may be abnormally worn or damaged due to various factors such as mechanical vibration, disturbances such as chips, and physical properties of the workpiece, which may result in deterioration of the surface quality of the workpiece. Because workpieces used for large aircrafts parts are expensive and require strict processing quality, a maintenance plan is required to minimize the deterioration of the workpiece quality that can be caused by unexpected abnormalities of the tool and take maintenance measures at an earlier stage that does not adversely affect the machining. In this paper, we propose a method to indirectly monitor the tool condition that can affect the machining quality of large aircraft parts through real-time monitoring of the current signal applied to the spindle motor during machining by comparing whether the monitored current shows an abnormal pattern during actual machining by using this as a reference pattern. First, 30 types of tools are used for machining large aircraft parts, and three tools with relatively frequent breakages among these tools were selected as monitoring targets by reflecting the opinions of processing experts in the field. Second, when creating the CNC machining program, the M code, which is a CNC auxiliary function, is inserted at the starting and ending positions of the tool to be monitored using the editing tool, so that monitoring start and end times can be notified. Third, the monitoring program was run with the M code signal notified from the CNC controller by using the DAQ (Data Acquisition) device, and the machine learning algorithms for detecting abnormality of the current signal received in real time could be used to determine whether there was an abnormality. Fourth, through the implementation of the prototype system, the feasibility of the method proposed in this paper was shown and verified through an actual example.

Aluminum alloys are the light weight materials, they are commonly used in many industrial applications such as electronic, aerospace, automotive, and medical industry. Because they are used in these such applications. Therefore, their light weight and high surface quality are required. In this paper, the surface improvement round flat aluminum alloy using lapping finishing method was explored. In order to find the optimal condition, lapping parameters such as, rotational speeds, abrasive grain sizes of pad, processing times, and lapping oils were investigated in this study. The improvement in surface roughness was found to be highest with optimal condition at 200 rpm of rotational speed, 1 ㎛ abrasive grain size of pad, 0.5ml of light oil for 720 sec. By using the optimal condition, the initial surface roughness Ra of round flat aluminum alloy can be enhanced from 2.59㎛ to 0.02 ㎛. This can be concluded that the small CNC machine with lapping finishing method can be used to enhance the surface roughness of round flat aluminum alloy effectively.
