A novel scalable method for machine degradation assessment using deep convolutional neural network

Bandsaw machines are widely used in the rough machining stage to cut various materials into required dimensions. Deterioration on the blade, which is a critical component of the bandsaw machine, not only causes a waste of cutting material but also represents a major portion of the operation & maintenance cost for the machine user. Although non-high-end manufactures put as much emphasis on the accuracy of the cuts as high-end manufacturers,...
