  • Quality is defined as the extent to which a product conforms to the design specifications and how it complies with the requirements of component functionality. For some industries, such as automotive and aeronautical, the quality of of manufactured parts is very important due to the high requirements. However, difficulties arise from the fact that a measure of quality can only be evaluated ‘‘out-of-process”, resulting in losses because there is no alternative to removing defective parts from the production line. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate AI-based kits/solutions that provide in-process estimation to predict quality from some measured variables. The main goal of these datasets is to enable monitoring of final quality of the manufactured components or parts by estimating surface roughness from vibration signals and cutting parameters information. Surface roughness is an essential feature in quality control defined by the deviation in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. Because the roughness measurement is an offline and post process procedure, being able to estimate this value online brings a series of benefits in terms of time and cost reduction in manufacturing lines, energy efficiency, unnecessary wear of tools and machines, etc. Once a part has been detected with a surface quality below what is desired, a series of corrective measures can be applied for the following operations, such as: reducing the feed rate percentage, increasing the percentage of spindle speed or reducing the axial depth per pass, etc. Workstation 4 (WS4) of the GAMHE 5.0 pilot line is a Kern Evo high-precision machining centre, with a maximum spindle speed of 50 000 rpm and Blum laser system and is used to run micro-milling and micro-drilling operations. In this experimental dataset, five cutting parameters were considered in the processes: spindle speed, n; feed rate, f; and axial depth of cut, aP. The radial depth of cut, ae; was equal to the mill tool radius, r, in all of the slots. These experiments were micro-milling operations with 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm and 1 mm-diameter mills on a sintered tungsten-copper alloy (W78Cu22). The data collected for each micro milling operation was the rms and peak value of the vibrations in the three-machine axis. In addition, five cutting parameters were also collected: position in X of the last point of the sample, feed rate, spindle speed, tool radius and axial depth.
