In order to remain commercially competitive and extend product and service offerings Checkfluid Ltd.continually searches for ways to optimize production efficiency, maximize product quality and develop newservices. The focus of this project is the development of online methods to accurately measure machine tooloperational integrity and part quality. Success will result in real-time operator feedback that will facilitateimproved manufacturing efficiency and eliminate the need for manual part quality inspections. Both of theseoutcomes will significantly improve Checkfluid's profitability.The objectives of this project are two-fold. The first will be to assemble accurate physics based models of themachining process. The second will be to develop accurate hybrid data/physics based analytics that showpotential to provide a clear distinction between different machine health states and part quality. Combinedthese objectives will form a set of experimentally verified data analysis procedures that allow optimized use ofmanufacturing machines and reliable product quality.
