Abstract

Profile monitoring can be effectively adopted to detect unnatural behaviors of machining processes, i.e., to signal when the functional relationship used to model the geometric feature monitored changes with time. Most of the literature concerned with profile monitoring deals with the issue of model identification for the functional relationship of interest, as well as with control charting of the model parameters. In this chapter, a different approach is presented for profile monitoring, with a focus on quality monitoring of geometric tolerances. This approach does not require an analytical model for the statistical description of profiles considered, and it does not involve a control charting method. An algorithm which allows a computer to automatically learn from data the relationship to represent profiles in space is described. The proposed algorithm is usually referred to as a neural network and the data set, from which the relationship is learned, consists just of profiles representative of the process in its in-control state. Throughout this chapter, a test case related to roundness profiles obtained by turning and described in Chapter 11 is used as a reference. A verification study on the efficacy of the neural network shows that this approach may outperform the usual control charting method.
