The article presents information about the cutting process and the utility of sensors in the same. Sensors in the cutting process help in avoiding damage to machinery parts. Sensors used in the process include force sensors, torque sensors, power sensors, temperature sensors, vibration sensors, acoustic emission sensors, and tool sensors.

The article presents information on types and functions of sensors that are used in machine tools and robots. In the operation phase, sensors, measure kinematic value, monitor the production systems and provide diagnostic functions. Whereas in the set up phase, they are used to adjust the accuracy of the systems. Working of the sensors is also discussed.

The article presents information about manufacturing and functions of sensors in manufacturing. Sensors are used to convert one form of energy into another and can sense signals that can't be detected by human sense organs. Unit processes involved in manufacturing and the needs of monitoring systems are also discussed.
