  • Patent number: 11906939
    Abstract: A lubricating oil volume adjustment system and a lubricating oil volume adjustment method are provided. The system includes a storage device and a processor and is connected to a machine including a motor through a data acquisition device acquiring current information of the motor. The storage device stores a machine learning model trained by a training data set including a plurality of pieces of the current information of the motor during operation and a plurality of temperature values measured during operation of the machine. The processor is configured to acquire the current information of present operation of the motor by using the data acquisition device, predict a temperature value of the machine when the motor operates under the current information by using the machine learning model, and calculate and adjust a lubricating oil volume suitable to be used by the machine during operation according to the predicted temperature value.

  • Publication number: 20240019838
    Abstract: A composite tool cutting monitoring system used for a machine is provided. The cutting monitoring system includes a data capturing module, a database and a cutting control module. The data capturing module is configured to capture a motor current data of the machine and a tool wear data. The motor current data is used as a training data for a tool wear state prediction model to perform deep learning and forecasting. The database is configured to establish a tool wear database for the comparison of a tool wear state. The tool wear state prediction model outputs a tool wear state prediction data to the cutting control module. The cutting control module judges whether the tool wear state is normal according to the tool wear state prediction data.
