MACHINE TOOL MONITORING

A method includes sending, by a computing device, control signals to a machine tool to machine a component located on a platform to form a feature in the component, monitoring, by the computing device, while machining the feature into the component with the machine tool, torque forces of the machine tool against the component caused by the machining of the feature into the component via at least one sensor positioned on the platform, evaluating, by the computing device, while machining the feature into the component with the machine tool, a quality of the machine tool based on the monitored torque forces; and, in response to the evaluation of the quality of the machine tool indicating an undesirable quality of the machine tool, sending, by the computing device, control signals to the machine tool to interrupt the machining of the component and replace a machining element of the machine tool.
