Online Multichannel Forging Tonnage Monitoring and Fault Pattern Discrimination Using Principal Curve
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the late response to process condition changes, forging processes are normally exposed to a large number of defective products. To achieve online process monitoring, multichannel tonnage signals are often collected from the forging press. The tonnage signals contain significant amount of real time information regarding the product and the process conditions. In this paper, a methodology is developed to detect profile changes of multichannel tonnage signals for forging process monitoring and to classify fault patterns. The changes include global or local profile deviations, which correspond to deviations of a whole process cycle or process segment(s) within a cycle, respectively. The principal curve method is used to conduct feature extraction and discrimination of tonnage signals. The developed methodology is demonstrated with industry data from a crankshaft forging processes. DOI: 10.1115/1.2193552

Process monitoring and fault diagnosis using profile data remains an important and challenging problem in statistical process control (SPC). Although the analysis of profile data has been extensively studied in the SPC literature, the challenges associated with monitoring and diagnosis of multichannel (multiple) nonlinear profiles are yet to be addressed. Motivated by an application in multi-op...

An axisymmetric hot closed die-forging process has been studied by physical modeling technique using the plasticine. To observe the material flow pattern, layers of plasticine with different colors were used. The normal direction to the layers was considered a principal direction. The strain distribution was obtained by measuring the thickness of the plasticine layers. Based on the strain distr...
