| dc.description.abstract | More advanced approach in the wood machining requires constant monitoring of the cutting process in real time. Such techniques can be provided by measuring different process outputs. The amount of heat generated during cutting, cutting forces, power consumed are common examples of cutting process output. The specific construction and the shape characteristics of the circular saw indicate possible relationship between the power consumption, acoustic emission and the cutting process progress. The results obtained in this paper for the power consumption and the acoustic emission spectrum analysis strongly suggest dependence of the former to the tool override. The intention of this paper is to compare the results obtained from already existing, but slightly altered, technique of the power measurement and one still developing, the sound analysis. The actual environmental conditions performed in the research, incorporating auxiliary systems, such as exhauster installation, had to bring the results of the conducted research to the point of practical implementation. The utilization of the acoustic emission analysis as an instrument for fast determination of the consumed power during circular saw cutting of the laminated particle board might become powerful indicator of the state of materials involved in the cutting process, both the tool and the wood based board. The results presented would clearly indicate the possibility of such implementation of the frequency and spectrum sound analysis. | en |
