Smart Temperature Monitoring System for Machining Process Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Outer surface integrity must be maintained throughout the machining process during the production of metal parts, which need the ability to monitor temperatures in real time. Changes in temperature during the machining process lead to changes in the behavior of the product after work is completed.To achieve quality and productivity criteria, the metal parts manufacturing process requires a continuous and precise temperature measuring and monitoring system by using IOT. An intelligent temperature measurement can be used during machining processes on conventional, non-conventional, and computer numerical control (CNC) machines. This paper presents a performance analysis of a temperature measuring system for machining process applications via Arduino IDE. In this proposal, a temperature monitoring system based on Arduino is used. The system would utilize an: MLX90614 infrared thermometer sensor” to measure the temperature of the workpiece during machining processes. The methodology's aim is to use the smart manufacturing model to measure and monitor the arising temperatures throughout the machining process in order to build a new tool path rapidly and efficiently. The placement of a non-contact infrared “MLX90614” temperature sensor allowed measuring of the average cutting temperature as well as the maximum cutting temperature. The data acquisition process was carried out using the “Xampp” Control Panel software, which communicated with the ESP32 “microcontroller” board using the Arduino IDE program. Experiments were carried out, so that the temperature of the cutting, which was measured, was recorded, and the results of the experiments were analyzed.
