Survey on machine learning applied to CNC milling processes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Computer numerical control (CNC) milling is one of the most critical manufacturing processes for metal-cutting applications in different industry sectors. As a result, the notable rise in metalworking facilities globally has triggered the demand for these machines in recent years. Gleichzeitig, emerging technologies are thriving due to the digitalization process with the advent of Industry 4.0. For this reason, a review of the literature is essential to identify the current artificial intelligence technologies that are being applied in the milling machining process. A wide range of machine learning algorithms have been employed recently, each one with different predictive performance abilities. Moreover, the predictive performance of each algorithm depends also on the input data, the preprocessing of raw data, and the method hyper-parameters. Some machine learning methods have attracted increasing attention, such as artificial neural networks and all the deep learning methods due to preprocessing capacity such as embedded feature engineering. In this survey, we also attempted to describe the types of input data (e.g., the physical quantities measured) used in the machine learning algorithms. Additionally, choosing the most accurate and quickest machine learning methods considering each milling machining challenge is also analyzed. Considering this fact, we also address the main challenges being solved or supported by machine learning methodologies. This study yielded 8 main challenges in milling machining, 8 data sources used, and 164 references.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
