This paper introduces some closer aspects of mechatronical and process oriented machine tool design. Basis of the considerations are the demands of the machining process and the workpiece dimensions and material. The machining area, the axis and the technical features are designed on characteristic parameters. The forces, torque and speed are derived out of these parameters. Control technique is adapted to the process specific demands of the machine and the workpiece. The machine tool behavior is adapted to the process demands so that the costs and energy consumption are minimized. Some examples are included to present properties concerning accuracy, dynamic behavior and influencing parameters.

Energy consumption process is the basis for energy efficiency improvement of machine tools. Most of the existing researches focus on the static modelling of energy consumption of a machine tool; however, there are a few studies that paid attention to that how process parameters influence the energy consumption of machine tools during processing. It is noted that the process parameters can be selected to reduce energy consumption during machining processes without additional investment. In this paper, a characteristic energy consumption model for NC machine tool was proposed. Then, the mapping rule between process parameters and energy consumption of machine tool was studied, and the model was solved with the regular neural network (RNN). Finally, the result was verified with an experiment of milling the surface of aluminium block, which can effectively improve the energy efficiency of machine tool. The experiment results are shown that regular neural network is used to optimize the process parameters and process the same machining characteristics; we analyze the in machining process of machine tool based on the three cutting parameters, and then, a model of energy consumption. We employ to learn, and use this trained model to select optimal parameters.

Energy prediction of machine tools can deliver many advantages to a manufacturing enterprise, ranging from energy-efficient process planning to machine tool monitoring. Physics-based energy prediction models have been proposed in the past to understand the energy usage pattern of a machine tool. However, uncertainties in both the machine and the operating environment make it difficult to predict the energy consumption of the target machine reliably. Taking advantage of the opportunity to collect extensive, contextual, energy-consumption data, we discuss a data-driven approach to develop an energy prediction model of a machine tool in this paper. First, we present a methodology that can efficiently and effectively collect and process data extracted from a machine tool and its sensors. We then present a data-driven model that can be used to predict the energy consumption of the machine tool for machining a generic part. Specifically, we use Gaussian process (GP) regression, a nonparametric machine-learning technique, to develop the prediction model. The energy prediction model is then generalized over multiple process parameters and operations. Finally, we apply this generalized model with a method to assess uncertainty intervals to predict the energy consumed by any part of the machine using a Mori Seiki NVD1500 machine tool. Furthermore, the same model can be used during process planning to optimize the energy-efficiency of a machining process.

Abstract Energy efficiency is an important aspect of all industrial processes. Sustainability in manufacturing sector can be improved by reducing and optimizing the energy requirements of the machine tool during the machining process. Growing energy demand and shortages in conventional energy sources have prompted research into energy conservation and sustainable development. Machining of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium-based alloys involve high consumption of energy and hence it is compulsory to study the optimal combinations of process parameters that yield the best result with highest efficiency in terms of energy. This paper aims to develop a finite element (FE) assisted virtual energy consumption map for the machining of Ti6Al4V in orthogonal turning operation. The cutting power for the machining process is simulated in AdvantEdge specially designed machining software for specific cutting parameters. The map developed is universally applicable and independent of the machine tool as only cutting power is used. The visual energy map can be utilized at the shop floor level, as it is easily understandable to the operator. The information enabled through the map can help the operator select the optimal combination of process parameters for the machining process and maximize the energy based efficiency of the cutting process.

High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) has been known to secure high removal rates in grinding processes at high wheel speed, relatively large depth of cut and moderately high work speed. High removal rates in HEDG are associated with very efficient grinding and secure very low specific energy comparable to conventional cutting processes. Though there exist HEDG-enabled machine tools, the wide spread of HEDG has been very limited due to the requirement for the machine tool and process design to ensure workpiece surface integrity. HEDG is an aggressive machining process that requires an adequate selection of grinding parameters in order to be successful within a given machine tool and workpiece configuration. This paper presents progress made in the development of a specialised HEDG machine. Results of HEDG processes obtained from the designed machine tool are presented to illustrate achievable high specific removal rates. Specific grinding energies are shown alongside with measured contact arc temperatures. An enhanced single-pole thermocouple technique was used to measure the actual contact temperatures in deep cutting. The performance of conventional wheels is depicted together with the performance of a CBN wheel obtained from actual industrial tests.
