Prediction of surface roughness of various machining processes by a hybrid algorithm including time series analysis, wavelet transform and multi view embedding

Abstract

The momentary control of manufacturing processes is one of the ways to increase the productivity of production lines. The online measurement of the surface roughness by non-contact methods can be utilized in order to predict the future of surface texture and modify the machining parameters. In the technique proposed at this paper, the surface texture is extracted by combining the 2D surface photography and wavelet approach. Then, by extracting the time delay parameters, the embedding dimension and the false nearest neighbor of the produced surface texture, the future surface roughness is predicted. The results show that this technique can be used in lapping, grinding, turning, and milling processes. Although the maximum roughness error occurred in the surface roughness prediction is 24%, the prediction error is almost constant after Ra = 0.4 μm in different machining processes (about 7%). This study is in line with the development of the proposed method by Pour (2018).
