Classification of Vibration Data from Brownfield Milling Machines Using Machine Learning

Abstract

This study aims to classify vibration data obtained from old CNC milling (brownfield) machines used in industrial production processes with machine learning algorithms. The analysis of data obtained from such machines is of critical importance in order to increase the efficiency of old production machines and optimize production processes. In the study, vibration data collected from three different CNC machines under real production conditions for two years were used. The collected data were analyzed with various machine learning algorithms, especially overfitting prevention techniques, and the performances of these algorithms were compared. The results showed that the proposed machine learning methods can classify the information obtained from vibration data with high accuracy rates. The algorithms used provided an effective solution for early detection of tool wear, operational errors and other production problems caused by vibration, thus enabling more efficient management of production processes. The study presents an innovative method for modernizing old machines in particular within the framework of Industry 4.0, and provides important practical contributions in terms of improving industrial processes, optimizing maintenance processes and increasing overall efficiency.
