Abstract

Increasing resource and energy efficiency for a sustainable production has led to the analyses of saving potentials and subsequently to the development of saving strategies in a multitude of disciplines. Each of those strategies resulted in numerous improvements, however, they still lack universal valid consideration. To overcome this deficit, a machine- and machine control-independent energy control system has been developed in the research group ECOMATION. The energy control system allows to execute any control- or operation-based energy optimizer. To use this energy control system more efficient machine tool controls need to be extended by additional functionality. The energy control system and the necessary migration strategy of machine tool controls will be discussed in this paper.
