Therefore, a multivariate statistical process control chart, for each tap, is presented based on the principal components of the torque signal directly measured from spindle motor drive to diagnosis the thread profile quality. This on-line multivariate control chart has implemented an alarm to avoid defected screw threads (oversized). Therefore, it could work automatically without any operator intervention assessing the thread quality and the safety is guaranteed during the tapping process. %K Sculptured surface machining %K Tapping %K Over-sized %K Monitoring %K Wear %K Tribology %K High speed steel doi 10.3390/met11040537 %U http://hdl.handle.net/11556/1102 %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
