Computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling machines—used in high-tech industries such as aeronautical manufacturing—operate continuously to maximize the production efficiency. However, this requires careful monitoring for any tool deterioration. Omid Geramifard and co-workers from the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology at A*STAR have now developed an improved algorithm for diagnosing tool-wear problems before they occur.
