A wireless instrumented milling cutter system with embedded PVDF sensors

Embedded Traffic Control System Using Wireless Ad Hoc Sensors

This paper deals with designing an embedded traffic control system using wireless ad hoc sensor. In this paper we discuss the details regarding the information about how the ad hoc sensors are used, how they are addressed, where they are located and how it is communicated to the central processing unit. it includes implementation of the central processing unit which is used to collect informati...

Study of the effective cutter radius for end milling of free-form surfaces using a torus milling cutter

Experimental Study on Milling CFRP with Staggered PCD Cutter

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) have good physical properties, such as high specific strength and high specific modulus. However, cutting delamination, tearing and burr, etc. often occur in the machining process of CFRP, which results in the uncontrollability of machining surface quality and serious tool wear. In this paper, milling of CFRP with a staggered cutter was carried out, the c...

A Geometric Algorithm for Finding the Largest Milling Cutter

In this paper, we describe a new geometric algorithm to determine the largest feasible cutter size for 2-D milling operations to be performed using a single cutter. In particular: 1. We give a general definition of the problem as the task of covering a target region without interfering with an obstruction region. This definition encompasses the task of milling a general 2-D profile that include...

An Attachable Electromagnetic Energy Harvester Driven Wireless Sensing System Demonstrating Milling-Processes and Cutter-Wear/Breakage-Condition Monitoring

An attachable electromagnetic-energy-harvester driven wireless vibration-sensing system for monitoring milling-processes and cutter-wear/breakage-conditions is demonstrated. The system includes an electromagnetic energy harvester, three single-axis Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers, a wireless chip module, and corresponding circuits. The harvester consisting of magnets with...
