A method to estimate the average temperature on the cutting edge of tools: Application on the milling process
In this work we present an experimental technique for the estimation of the average temperature on the cutting edge of each insert in a milling tool. The experimental device used thermistors, one per insert, and a rotational collector in order to ensure the transmission of the signals between the rotating tool and the acquisition device. Each thermistor is located at a point in the tool close to the tip of each insert. The average temperature on the cutting edge of each insert is estimated from the temperature at the nearest sensor and a model expressing these two temperatures. This model is achieved from the noninteger system identification method.
