Time-Series Pattern Verification in CNC Machining Data

Effective quality control is essential for efficient and successful manufacturing processes in the era of Industry 4.0. Artificial Intelligence solutions are increasingly employed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of quality control methods. In Computer Numerical Control machining, challenges involve identifying and verifying specific patterns of interest or trends in a time-series dataset. However, this can be a challenge due to the extensive diversity. Therefore, this work aims to develop a methodology capable of verifying the presence of a specific pattern of interest in a given collection of time-series. This study mainly focuses on evaluating One-Class Classification techniques using Linear Frequency Cepstral Coefficients to describe the patterns on the time-series. A real-world dataset produced by turning machines was used, where a time-series with a certain pattern needed to be verified to monitor the wear offset. The initial findings reveal that the classifiers can accurately distinguish between the time-series' target pattern and the remaining data. Specifically, the One-Class Support Vector Machine achieves a classification accuracy of 95.6 % +/- 1.2 and an F1-score of 95.4 % +/- 1.3.
