Abstract
Kerf width is one of the most important quality items in cutting of thin metallic sheets. The aim of this study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for analysis and prediction of kerf width in laser cutting of thin non-oriented electrical steel sheets. Three input process parameters were considered, namely, laser power, cutting speed, and pulse frequency, while one output parameter, kerf width, was evaluated. In total, 40 sets of experimental data were obtained for development of the CNN model, including 36 sets for training with k-fold cross-validation and four sets for testing. Compared with a deep neural network (DNN) model and an extreme learning machine (ELM) model, the developed CNN model had the lowest mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 4.76% for the final test dataset in predicting kerf width. This indicates that the proposed CNN model is an appropriate model for kerf width prediction in laser cutting of thin non-oriented electrical steel sheets.
