Latest Patents
One of his latest patents focuses on the indication of cutting tool wear by monitoring eddy currents induced in a tool. This invention involves a tool dullness indicator and method that measures eddy currents at a known, controlled frequency directly in the tool. By measuring the phase angle shift in a coil when a sample is placed near it, the phase angle change caused by the presence of a workpiece is recorded. This reference reading accounts for the surface hardness and other bulk properties of the workpiece. The invention analyzes the workpiece to determine when the tool is dull based on changes in eddy current characteristics caused by work hardening.
