This project has newly proposed a novel monitoring method using evanescent light for detecting contact condition between a cutting tool and a workpiece in ultraprecision cutting. The result of basic experimental evaluation confirmed the proposed method can measure relative distance between the tool and the workpiece. From further investigation, the proposed method is applicable to actual machining environment.
