Opis: This article presents a cloud-based system for the on-line monitoring of tool conditions in end milling. The novelty of this research is the developed system that connects the IoT (Internet of Things) platform for the monitoring of tool conditions in the cloud to the machine tool and optical system for the detection of cutting chip size. The optical system takes care of the acquisition and transfer of signals regarding chip size to the IoT application, where they are used as an indicator for the determination of tool conditions. In addition, the novelty of the presented approach is in the artificial intelligence integrated into the platform, which monitors a tool’s condition through identification of the current cutting force trend and protects the tool against excessive loading by correcting process parameters. The practical significance of the research is that it is a new system for fast tool condition monitoring, which ensures savings, reduces investment costs due to the use of a more cost-effective sensor, improves machining efficiency and allows remote process monitoring on mobile devices. A machining test was performed to verify the feasibility of the monitoring system. The results show that the developed system with an ANN (artificial neural network) for the recognition of cutting force patterns successfully detects tool damage and stops the process within 35 ms. This article reports a classification accuracy of 85.3% using an ANN with no error in the identification of tool breakage, which verifies the effectiveness and practicality of the approach.

Opis: The AA7075-T6 material is widely used in aerospace applications due to its favourable strength-to-weight ratio and cost-effectiveness. The material undergoes a process of cold rolling and subsequent stretching to form metal sheets. This process generates residual compressive stresses on the surface of the material. Surface changes in the material are observed at low stress levels, resulting in variations in residual stresses and surface roughness. This article presents an approach to monitor the surface state changes of AA7075-T6 material during dynamic loading using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor. Numerical Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations analyse the transfer of deformations from the damaged surface through the adhesive layer to FBG with different cladding thicknesses. Loading induces microcrack-related intensity changes in the FBG optical spectrum and deformation response. The magnitude of the response is greater, when the cladding thickness of the optical fibre is thinner. Experimental results show that the FBG optical spectrum response varies with cumulative number of dynamic cycles.

Opis: This article presents a short-range fiber-optic quasi-distributed sensing device suitable for strain and temperature measurement. The sensing assembly consists of an fs laser inscribed reference mirror and a sensing array of equidistantly positioned mirrors. Utilization of the reference mirror and proper sensor geometry selection provides the possibility for a high-resolution spectral interrogation of the sensing array while relying on an ordinary, cost-effective distributed feedback (DFB) telecom laser diode. Beside the telecom DFB diode, the entire interrogation system includes only an additional detector, optical coupler, analog interface and a microcontroller. Measurement resolution better than 1 µε was demonstrated experimentally at a sampling rate exceeding 65 samples per second, while utilizing a sensing device with a typical length of 50 mm and spatial resolution of approximately 2 mm. To demonstrate the application potential of the proposed measuring device, a few different packages and sensor configurations were demonstrated and tested, including a system for tactile sensing applications and a short-range quasi-distributed temperature measurement probe.

Opis: The increasing adoption of 2D/3D laser line sensors in industrial and research applications necessitates accurate and efficient simulation tools for tasks such as surface inspection, dimensional verification, and quality control. This paper presents a novel algorithm developed in MATLAB for simulating the measurements of any 2D/3D laser line sensor on STL CAD models. The algorithm uses a modified fast-ray triangular intersection method, addressing challenges such as overlapping triangles in assembly models and incorporating sensor resolution to ensure realistic simulations. Quantitative analysis shows a significant reduction in computation time, enhancing the practical utility of the algorithm. The simulation results exhibit a mean deviation of 0.42 mm when compared to real-world measurements. Notably, the algorithm effectively handles complex geometric features, such as holes and grooves, and offers flexibility in generating point cloud data in both local and global coordinate systems. This work not only reduces the need for physical prototyping, thereby contributing to sustainability, but also supports AI training by generating accurate synthetic data. Future work should aim to further optimize the simulation speed and explore noise modeling to enhance the realism of simulated measurements.

Opis: Introduction: The Jozef Stefan Institute developed a personal portable electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor Savvy that works with a smartphone, and this was used in our study. This study aimed to analyze the usefulness of telecardiology at the primary healthcare level using an ECG personal sensor. Methods: We included 400 patients with a history of suspected rhythm disturbance who visited their family physician at the Healthcare Center Ljubljana and Healthcare Center Murska Sobota from October 2016 to January 2018. Results: The study found that there was no statistically significant difference between the test and control groups in the number of present rhythm disorders and actions taken to treat patients with either observation or administration of a new drug. However, in the test group, there were significantly fewer patients being referred to a cardiologist than in the control group (p < 0.001). Discussion: The use of an ECG sensor helps family physicians to distinguish between patients who need to be referred to a cardiologist and those who can be treated by them. This method is useful for both physicians and patients because it shortens the time taken to start treatment, can be used during pandemics such as COVID-19, and reduces unnecessary cost.
