Abstract: With the development of aerospace, medical devices, automobile manufacturing and other industrial fields, the manufacturing of complex parts is becoming more flexible, which pushes the cutting tools to be intelligent. Compared with traditional tools, intelligent cutting tools integrate sensor technology, data processing and digital twin. The application of intelligent cutting tools in the machining processes improves the part quality and production efficiency, while reduces the production cost. The definition of intelligent tool is proposed and related key technologies are presented. The research results of the key technologies of the intelligent tool are summarized from four aspects, including the optimization design of intelligent tool, the monitoring of cutting condition the perception of tool state and the control of cutting process. Finally, the application prospect of the intelligent cutting tool system in the future manufacturing processes is summarized, and the development direction of realizing tool intelligence are discussed.

Key words: intelligent cutting tool, digital twin, sensor, monitor, feedback control
