Implementação e avaliação de um sistema de visão computacional para medição do raio do gume de ferramentas de corte

Abstract

The performance of a machining process is directly affected by the geometrical conditions of the cutting edge of the used tool. However, commercial systems for evaluating these conditions are substantially expensive. Recently, a low cost method, here called LMCE (LASER Measurement of the Cutting Edge), was proposed. This method, although potentially promising, is limited to a theoretical development. In this work, the implementation of the LMCE method is then proposed as well an experimental performance evaluation. In addition to a review on this topic, the method under study is presented with a focus on the equations to be implemented. Experiments are proposed and implemented and their results are presented and submitted to a statistical evaluation. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
