This paper studied a new deep learning model, to identify the wear status of tools. The force signal was transformed into a two-dimensional image using continuous wavelet transform (CWT), short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and Gramian angular summation field (GASF) methods. The generated images were then fed into the proposed convolutional neural network (CNN) model for further analysis. The calculation results show that the accuracy of tool wear state recognition proposed in this paper was above 90%, which was higher than the accuracy of AlexNet, ResNet, and other models. The accuracy of the images generated using the CWT method and identified with the CNN model was the highest, which is attributed to the fact that the CWT method can extract local features of an image and is less affected by noise. Comparing the precision and recall values of the model, it was verified that the image obtained by the CWT method had the highest accuracy in identifying tool wear state. These results demonstrate the potential advantages of using a force signal transformed into a two-dimensional image for tool wear state recognition and of applying CNN models in this area. They also indicate the wide application prospects of this method in industrial production.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23104595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,10]],"date-time":"2023-05-10T01:57:51Z","timestamp":1683683871000},"page":"4595","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Tool Wear Condition Monitoring Method Based on Deep Learning with Force Signals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8048-242X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"},{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology, Shenzhen Polytechnic, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6010-3974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaozhi","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology, Shenzhen Polytechnic, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]},{"given":"Yuanhang","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Explosion Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"109003","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ymssp.2022.109003","article-title":"Tool wear monitoring of high-speed broaching process with carbide tools to reduce production errors","volume":"172","author":"Ealo","year":"2022","journal-title":"Mech.
