TLDR
In this paper, an acoustic emission monitoring system has a converter for converting acoustic emission into an electric signal, a filter for rejecting frequency components in the signal below a frequency between 50 kHz and 300 kHz, a detector to detect the amplitude of the signal after the rejection of those frequency components, and a comparator for comparing that amplitude to a predetermined reference amplitude.
Abstract
For detecting brittle fracture and wear of a tip of a cutting tool an acoustic emission monitoring system has a converter for converting acoustic emission into an electric signal, a filter for rejecting frequency components in the signal below a frequency between 50 kHz and 300 kHz, a detector to detect the amplitude of the signal after the rejection of those frequency components, and a comparator for comparing that amplitude to a predetermined reference amplitude.

Cutting tool wear detection apparatus and method

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus are described for continuously monitoring a ratio of spindle force or power or low frequency vibration energy to high frequency vibrational energy during the cutting process, and generating an output warning signal when the radio reaches a preselected level correlated with excessive tool wear.

Method for monitoring cutting tool wear during a machining operation

TL;DR: In this article, the vibration of an end mill (36) is sensed by either microphones (42, 44, 46) or accelerometers (78, 80, 82) and a time domain signal is produced by these sensors which is converted into a near-real time frequency spectrum.

Device for detecting tool abnormality

TL;DR: In this paper, a torque limiter disconnects the drill from a main spindle and generates high-level elastic waves, which are converted by a transducer into a voltage signal.

Acoustic detection of tool break events in machine tool operations

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for monitoring vibrations of a cutting tool produced by tool break events, and for interpreting them to detect tool breaks of sufficient magnitude to endanger the machined part is presented.

Acoustic monitoring of cutting conditions to detect tool break events

TL;DR: In this article, a tool break detection system relies on monitoring changes in the cutting noise itself, rather than detecting the tool fracture acoustic signal, and a broken tool capable of damaging the workpiece is detected, and tool break events that do not affect cutting conditions are ignored.

Automatic sonic detection of chipped cutting tools

TL;DR: In this paper, a cutting tool wear signal is obtained in known manner by sensing the sonic vibrations generated by the cutting action and extracting the high frequencies indicative of cutting tools' wear.
Patent

Tool wear detector

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a tool wear detector where a tool change condition is determined by establishing a reference value representing the broadband vibrational energy output of the tool during utilization thereof in a relatively unworn condition.

Apparatus for detecting damages of cutting tools

Akihiko Noh
TL;DR: In this article, the root mean square value of the output signal from the detector is compared with the data produced at the time of normal cutting, where when an abnormal vibration occurs due to the damage of the cutting tool the cutting operation is stopped by using a signal from a comparator.
