Abstract: Industry has monitoring systems to determine the tool condition and to ensure quality. This paper presents an intelligent classification system which determines the status of cutters in a CNC milling machine. The tool states are detected through the analysis of the cutting forces drawn from the spindle motors currents. A wavelet transformation was used in order to compress the data and to optimise the classifier structure. Then a supervised SOM neural network is responsible for carrying out the classification of the signal. Achieving a reliability of 95%, the system is capable of detecting breakage and a worn cutter.
