This work presents the process of planning and manufacturing a measuring system for controlling and monitoring the tool wear in the turning process. The first part includes an overview of the theoretical background of tool wear. In the next part, we presented the theoretical background of the phenomenon of increased cutting power due to tool wear. In the experimental work, we proved that there is a connection between tool wear and an increase in cutting power. Based on the known rate of tool wear and the connection between the consumed electric power on the machine, we designed a software interface that can be used to monitor the tool wear in real time. For the purpose of data analysis, we used an Arduino microcontroller, and connected it with an LCD touch screen. The work presents the creation of the program code in the Arduino environment, as well as the connection of all the necessary electronic components for the creation of the designed system.
