| Description : |
The energy and resource efficient manufacture of consumption and investment products is becoming a competitive
advantage and companies are increasingly interested in optimal machine design and process operation.
On basis of experimental power and resources consumption analyses, models of manufacturing processes have been
developed. Using the discrete events approach for single process modeling, NC code controlled operation and
specific parameterization allows for calculating energy and resource consumptions as a function of time. For
optimization the resources energy, tool wear, coolant, material removal volume and operation time are considered
for single or combined minimization, allowing also for alternative manufacturing strategy analysis.
