DEVELOPMENT OF A SENSOR INFORMATION INTEGRATED EXPERT SYSTEM FOR OPTIMIZING DIE POLISHING

摘要

This paper presents a polishing expert system integrated with sensor information which can modify the polishing sequence and conditions initially set by the system using the on-site polishing status. A practical system using AE sensors is developed for the rotational polishing and the curved surface polishing. A database and knowledge base for polishing processes are established by using the results of experiments and also expert's experience. Evaluations are performed for a die of headlight lamp by using both the sensor integrated expert system and the expert system without sensor. The results show that the sensor integrated expert system provides more optimal polishing conditions since the proposed system takes advantage of the on-line sensor information.
