Abstract

This paper aims to provide information on process improvement for energy-efficient manufacturing. A machine tool has the highest rate of energy consumption among plant equipment. There are effective ways to reduce energy consumption of machine tools such as reducing required energy, shutting down the power to standby equipment, and shortening the cycle time. This paper introduces several approaches for process improvement such as optimizing the cutting conditions and the inclination angle of the tool in 5-axis machining. Minimizing the use of fluid and using control functions are also shown to be effective.
