A Study on Energy Consumption of a CNC Milling Machine Based on Cutting Force Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Machining operations are performed by machine tools 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. For this purpose, this paper proposes a method for modeling energy consumption of end milling operation which is based on cutting theory. The cutting power model is verified with experiments on a CNC milling machine. According to the calculated and experimental results, it is clear that the theoretical prediction can predict the mean cutting power successfully as validated by actual measurements.
