Comunicación presentada a MESIC 2019 8th Manufacturing Engineering Society International Conference (Madrid, 19-21 de Junio de 2019)In the literature, many different machining monitoring systems for surface roughness and tool condition have been proposed and validated experimentally. However, these approaches commonly require costly equipment and experimentation. In this paper, we propose an alternative monitoring system for surface roughness based on a model-based observer considering simple relationships between tool wear, power consumption and surface roughness. The system estimates the surface roughness according to simple models and updates the estimation fusing the information from quality inspection and power consumption. This monitoring strategy is aligned with the industry 4.0 practices and promotes the fusion of data at different shop-floor levels
