An important point for conducting process improvement activities on-site is not to only rely on personal experiences or intuition but also to clarify problems through visualization of the machining phenomena with the help of the latest measuring equipment.
Utilizing high speed camera to observe the machining point along with simultaneous measurements of cutting vibration, cutting resistance, cutting force, displacement and cutting temperature etc., can provide new findings and more in-depth information on the actual causes.
Example of observation of drilling (Drill)
Example of observation of built-up edge (Turning)
Quality problems on the test cut component can be confirmed through measuring its surface roughness, roundness and from the tool wear.
