| Summary: | Tool wear condition monitoring during the machining process is one of the most important considerations in precision manufacturing. Cutting force is one of the signals that has been widely used for tool wear condition monitoring, which contains the dynamical information of tool wear conditions. This paper proposes a novel multivariate cutting force-based tool wear monitoring method using one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN). Firstly, multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) is used to process the multivariate cutting force signals. The multivariate band-limited intrinsic mode functions (BLIMFs) are obtained, which contain a large number of nonlinear and nonstationary tool wear characteristics. Afterwards, the proposed modified multiscale permutation entropy (MMPE) is used to measure the complexity of multivariate BLIMFs. The entropy values on multiple scales are calculated as condition indicators in tool wear condition monitoring. Finally, the one-dimensional feature vectors are constructed and employed as the input of 1D CNN to achieve accurate and stable tool wear condition monitoring. The results of the research in this paper demonstrate that the proposed approach has broad prospects in tool wear condition monitoring.
