With the increasing demand for the manufacturing of complex components in various industry fields

the intelligent cutting tools

being the main direction of intelligent manufacturing

have gained significant attention from research institutions at home and abroad. Turning tools

which are the most commonly used tools in the cutting process

have emerged as a critical area of research in the field of intelligent tools. To get a comprehensive understanding of the research progress in intelligent turning tools

the related research of intelligent turning tools in cutting condition monitoring and cutting process control is overviewed. The paper delves into the structure

fundamental principles

and design considerations of various intelligent turning tools used for monitoring or controlling forces

vibrations

and temperatures during the cutting process. In addition

the paper introduces research related to the control of micro-displacements using intelligent turning tools. The key technologies and the functions they enable involved in intelligent turning tools are sorted and discussed. Finally

the existing problem and the future development directions of intelligent turning tools are analyzed.
