Tool Wear State Identification Based on SVM Optimized by the Improved Northern Goshawk Optimization

Abstract

Tool wear condition significantly influences equipment downtime and machining precision, necessitating the exploration of a more accurate tool wear state identification technique. In this paper, the wavelet packet thresholding denoising method is used to process the acquired multi-source signals and extract several signal features. The set of features most relevant to the tool wear state is screened out by the support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE). Utilizing these selected features, we propose a tool wear state identification model, which utilizes an improved northern goshawk optimization (INGO) algorithm to optimize the support vector machine (SVM), hereby referred to as INGO-SVM. The simulation tests reveal that INGO demonstrates superior convergence efficacy and stability. Furthermore, a milling wear experiment confirms that this approach outperforms five other methods in terms of recognition accuracy, achieving a remarkable accuracy rate of 97.9%.
