The invention relates to a cutter damage and abrasion state detecting method, which comprises the following steps that 1, vibration signals in the cutter
cutting and
grinding processes are measured; 2, the vibration signals are subjected to mode filtering calculation; 3, time-frequency wavelets of the vibration signals are subjected to classification sorting and feature extractions; and 4, the time-frequency wavelets are subjected to classification, collection and
signal separation
processing, various kinds of time-frequency wavelets are subjected to
signal reconstruction, the kurtosis index (Cq) and the peak index (Ip) of various kinds of signals are then counted, the cutter damage and abrasion state and the
machine tool operation state are detected under the dynamic distribution condition of a Cq-Iq plane according to various kinds of separation
signal index parameters, and the identification detection and the quantitative early warning and forecast of the cutter damage and abrasion state are realized. Through single monitoring equipment, the detection of the cutter damage and abrasion state is realized, the signal identification stability is good, the mechanical
processing production safety is ensured, the precision of
processing parts is improved, and the
production rate and the
utilization rate of a
machine tool are improved.
