Machining operations are performed by milling machine with a large amount of energy consumed for material removal. Understanding and characterizing the energy consumption is essential to explore the potential of energy-saving in energy-efficient machining.
Improving resource efficiency has recently been recognized as a must in factories of the future. In the machine tool manufacturing industry, developing energy-saving machine tools is one of the important trends in the 2lst century. With the increasingly widespread use of CNC machining center, the energy consumption issue has become a hot research topic today. For this reason, a model for energy consumption is necessary. In the past years, a large number of researchers have conducted research in this regard.
Some assuming that the output power of a machine tool is the basis of the input power and spindle speed function in order to draw their quantitative relationship on multiple linear regression analysis method. While others think the impact on the environment during the machining process from the view of system level. The energy consumption of the material removal model, tool life model, cutting fluid model, and material discarded model were established. Note that they did not
specify the parameters for which it is clearly defined and it is not clear about the value and the specific derivation of each parameter.
What is your view of the consumption of energy in machine tools like cnc milling machine?
