PROBLEM STATEMENT
Conventional tool wear monitoring methods are often reactive and intrusive, relying on visual inspections and lacking the capability to detect early stages of wear or adapt to real-time machining conditions. These approaches generally fail to capture the complex relationship between process parameters and tool degradation. There is a need for a simulation-based, predictive monitoring system that integrates vibration signal analysis with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess stress distribution and modal behavior, enabling accurate tool wear prediction, reduced downtime, and improved tool utilization.
