Recently progress in metal cutting and machine tool has raised the productivity of cutting operation remakable. Such high productivity, however, has brought troublesome problems on chips, specially, such as continuous chips.
Thus manufacturing system can not be automated without controlling the chip forms. Monitoring and diagnosis of various undesirable state in the cutting process are major functions required for the full-automation of manufacturing system. As the computerized monitoring and classifying of the generation of undesirable chips and chip forms which are major obstacle to automation, the algorithm which decide cutting state in this paper.
