Abstract

See full text

A smart tool holder is for use with a machine tool platform. The smart tool holder includes a body having a first end and an opposite second end, a processor disposed with the body, and a transceiver disposed with the body and in communication with the processor. The transceiver is structured to communicate with an external receiving device. The first end of the body is structured to be coupled to the machine tool platform and the opposite second end is structured to be selectively coupled to a cutting assembly having a number of sensors. The processor is structured to communicate with the number of sensors when the cutting assembly is coupled to the body. The processor may perform data analysis tasks using model based data analysis, digital filtering, and other techniques. The smart tool holder may suggest changes to the machining process based on two-way communication with a machine tool controller through a receiver or interface device.
