Enabling cutting tool services based on in-process machining condition monitoring

International Journal of Internet Manufacturing and Services (IJIMS), Vol. 5, No. 1, 2018

Abstract: The cutting tool industrial product-service system (ct-iPSS) integrates intangible cutting services with physical cutting tools to satisfy consumers' cutting/machining requirements. It realises a win-win situation for cutting tool service consumers, cutting tool manufacturers and the third-party cutting tool service providers. However, the study on ct-iPSS is insufficient when some significant topics are still pending. In this paper, the in-process cutting tool condition monitoring service is integrated in the improved ct-iPSS model. A more precise cutting tool demand prediction service is enabled on the basis of in-process cutting tool reaming useful life prediction service. The used cutting tool collection routes are optimised together with the new cutting tool delivery routes. The total delivery/collection cost is minimised systematically to enable a more feasible ct-iPSS. A scenario is presented to verify these services. The ct-iPSS's feasibility and practicality are enhanced by the improved ct-iPSS model.
