Structure principles of energy efficient machine tools

A carbon efficiency approach for life-cycle carbon emission characteristics of machine tools

“…Hu et al (2012) proposed an on-line energy efficiency monitoring system which is constructed based on an energy consumption model without using any torque sensor or dynamometer to measure the cutting power. Neugebauer et al (2011a) analyzed the structure principles of energy efficient machine tools and presented the approaches for energy efficiency on the level of machine tools. Kroll et al (2011) discussed the general impudence of light weight design approaches on energy efficiency in machine tools and restrictions on the maximum mass reduction for structural components.…”

Predicting mobile machine tool dynamics by experimental dynamic substructuring

“…Moving the machine to the part results in significant savings in time, energy, and transportation costs that would otherwise be incurred from moving large parts to the machine's location [1][2]. An example of such a mobile machine tool developed at the Fraunhofer IWU [2][3] is shown in Fig.…”

Impact of Product-Service Systems on the Energy Efficiency of Machine Tools

“…In Neugebauer et al the product development process is focused to consider energy relevant aspects. They regard the energy efficiency of a machine tool when defining the product geometry or defining the manufacturing processes [5]. However, it is also possible to optimize the energy efficiency of a machine tool after the product development.…”
