  • Publication number: 20240001507
    Abstract: A method for controlling and/or monitoring a workpiece machining process where a tool having a working surface is brought into contact with a surface of a workpiece to be machined via a feed movement. In the machining process, the tool and/or workpiece rotate about a tool axis and/or workpiece axis. The feed movement occurs while the tool and/or workpiece are rotating and an auxiliary medium is introduced into a region between a working surface of the tool and a surface of the workpiece to be machined. Bending moments and/or forces acting transversely to the tool axis or workpiece axis and/or torques occurring during rotation of the tool about the tool axis and/or during rotation of the workpiece about the workpiece axis are captured in a time-resolved manner. A status of the approach process is inferred from the values and/or time profiles of the captured bending moments, forces and/or torques.

  • Publication number: 20230004152
    Abstract: Method for monitoring and/or predicting machining processes and/or machining outcomes in mechanical workpiece machining carried out by a workpiece processing machine operable by specifiable operating parameters and having at least one machining tool. The monitoring and/or predicting occurs via a computer program product evaluation algorithm executed on a computer on the basis of training data sets. The training data sets include, as training data, adjustment data relating to adjustment of operating parameters of the workpiece processing machine for carrying out a machining process to be monitored and/or predicted. The training data sets further include outcome data of workpieces finished in a machining process to be monitored and/or predicted, and state data of the processing machine, determined by sensor, during a machining process to be monitored and/or predicted. In use, capture of outcome data by prediction made on the basis of machine-learned knowledge is avoided or reduced.
