Monitoring technology of machining operations has a long history since unmanned machining was introduced. Lots of research papers were presented and some of them has been commercialized and applied to shop floor. Despite the long history, many researchers have presented new approaches continuously in this area. This paper presents current state of monitoring technology of machining operations. The objectives of monitoring are shortly summarized, and the monitoring methods and the unique sensor technologies are reviewed. The main objective of the monitoring technology remains same; tool condition monitoring (TCM). The general approaches also remain similar; signal processing and decision making. But, the innovative methods for every step of process monitoring are being provided to improve the performance. More powerful computing is lowering the wall of much more data from more sensors by fast calculation. This technology also introduces the novel decision making strategies such as Artificial Intelligent. New materials and new communication technologies are breaking the limitation of sensor positions. Virtual machining technology which estimates the machining physics is being integrated with monitoring technology.

FEM (Finite Element Method)-based numerical analysis model, which is known as CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) technology, has been adopted for the visual/mechanical analysis of machining process. The essential models for the FEM analytical model are the plasticity model of workpieces, friction model, and wear rate model. Usually, the outputs of the FEM analytical model are the cutting force, the cutting temperature, and chip formation. Based on these outputs, the machining performance can be virtually evaluated without experiments. Nowadays, there are emerging machining technologies, such as cryogenic assisted machining and CFRP machining. Therefore, FEM technique can be one of the good candidate to virtually evaluate emerging developed machining technologies.
