Abstract
As one of the most important terminals in machining,cutting tools have been widely used for components manufacturing in aerospace and other industries.The quality of these compo-nents and processing efficiency are closely linked to the performance of cutting tools.Therefore,it is essential and critical to inspect the cutting tools and monitor the condition during the stage of man-ufacturing and machining.This review aims to discuss and summarize the key problems,methods,and techniques from the perspective of the tool geometric and the physical quantities measurement,including machine vision,physical sensors and data processing.It is worth mentioning that we focus on the topic of precision measurement methods and discuss universal solutions by identifying the common characteristics of the measured quantities.Eventually,the challenges and future trends for the development of in-depth research and practical applications are concluded.The research and application of precise measurement techniques for geometric and physical quantities will better promote the development of intelligent manufacturing.
