1905 Simulation of energy consumption due to NC machine tool motions from roughing to finishing processes

In recent years, reducing the energy consumption of machine tools has been greatly required. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop the system to generate the tool path so that it effectively reduces the energy consumption of the machine tool. In order to achieve this purpose, the simulation model of the energy consumption is proposed in this study. As the results, it is verified that the proposed model can simulate the energy consumption which varies with difference in the tool path. Therefore, the developed simulation model will be used for generating the tool path that can reduce the energy consumption of the machine tool in the machining process.
