Production-ready predictive maintenance for CNC machines

Predict CNC machine failures before downtime happens

This predictive maintenance solution is based on machine learning models trained on a precisely produced dataset that accurately represents real-world machining conditions. The dataset—created by the School of Engineering - Technology and Life—captures critical variables such as air temperature, process temperature, rotational speed, torque, and tool wear. Using these signals, the system predicts CNC machine failures using Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Stochastic Gradient Boosting algorithms.

Dataset built for real machining conditions

The dataset is designed to reflect real-world CNC machining behavior by measuring both thermal and mechanical variables that correlate strongly with wear and failure modes.

Thermal context

Air temperature and process temperature capture heat buildup and operating conditions.

Machine dynamics

Rotational speed and torque describe load, cutting resistance, and stress patterns.

Wear progression

Tool wear provides a direct signal of degradation and impending failure risk.

Models used for failure prediction

We apply a mix of tree-based and boosting approaches to balance interpretability, robustness, and predictive power.

Random Forest

Stable, high-signal baseline

Aggregates many decision trees to reduce variance and handle non-linear relationships in sensor signals.

Decision Tree

Explainable decision paths

Provides clear split rules to help operators understand what conditions drive a predicted failure.

Stochastic Gradient Boosting

Strong performance at the edge

Sequentially improves weak learners to capture subtle interactions across temperature, load, and wear.
