The blunt edges of worn molds can cause the edge of the sheet metal to form a burr, which can seriously impede assembly and reduce the efficiency of the resulting motor. The overuse of molds without sufficient maintenance leads to wasted sheet material, whereas excessive maintenance shortens the life of the punch\/die plate. Diagnosing the mechanical performance of die molds requires extensive experience and fine-grained sensor data. In this study, we embedded polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films within the mechanical mold of a notching machine to obtain direct measurements of the reaction forces imposed by the punch. We also developed an automated diagnosis program based on a support vector machine (SVM) to characterize the performance of the mechanical mold. The proposed cyber-physical system (CPS) facilitated the real-time monitoring of machinery for preventative maintenance as well as the implementation of early warning alarms. The cloud server used to gather mold-related data also generated data logs for managers. The hyperplane of the CPS-PVDF was calibrated using a variety of parameters pertaining to the edge characteristics of punches. Stereo-microscopy analysis of the punched workpiece verified that the accuracy of the fault classification was 97.6%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19235123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,22]],"date-time":"2019-11-22T09:39:40Z","timestamp":1574415580000},"page":"5123","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Real-Time Evaluation of the Mechanical Performance and Residual Life of a Notching Mold Using Embedded PVDF Sensors and SVM Criteria"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4157-5292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ching-Yuan","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 10608, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Tsung-Han","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 10608, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Tzu-Chun","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei 10608, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3515","DOI":"10.1109\/TIA.2015.2399614","article-title":"Cutting and punching impacts on laminated electromagnetic steels to the designs and operations of synchronous reluctance motors","volume":"51","author":"Liu","year":"2015","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
