Machining tools are vital components of intelligent manufacturing systems whose state and remaining useful life (RUL) determine product quality. Specifically, the wearing of tool reduces its capability of production yield and diminishes product quality. Therefore, a capability-based RUL prediction approach is proposed in this paper to thoroughly evaluate the state and RUL of machining tools. First, the connotation of tool capability is discussed, and a framework for quality assurance capability-based RUL prediction is proposed. Product quality, which can be used to assess the capability of tool, is modelled and expanded to consider non-geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (non-GD&T) features based on the classic geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) system. Second, a physics-based model of process is developed to estimate the non-GD&T features and calculate tool wear. Third, a hybrid data-driven and physics-based model is developed to quantitatively assess the capability of tool based on the comprehensive quality estimation. Finally, a case study of rolling machining tool is carried out to verify the effectiveness and proactiveness of the proposed framework, and the final result highlights its rationality and accuracy in estimating the RUL of machining tools with better interpretation.
