This study presents a review of the state-of-the-art in sensor technologies and its application in milling process to measure machining signal for Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) systems. Machining signals such as cutting force, torque, vibration, acoustic emission, current/power, sound and temperature from milling operation are briefly reviewed with the goal of indentifying the parameters for TCM. Sensors reviewed include both commercial and research devices that can measure machining signals. In this study describes trends in the sensor systems used and its potential for future research.
