Study on the Impact of Cutting Tool Wear on Machine Tool Energy Consumption

Abstract

The paper describes the problem of tool wear in machining processes. The importance of determining and analysing the demand of machining centres for electricity was emphasised and the potential relationship between tool wear and machine energy consumption was indicated. The paper presents the results of the measurements of cutting tool wear on the energy consumption of a machining centre based on the analysis of an actual technological process. The paper presents a method of obtaining and processing large amounts of data. The changes in the form of power consumption by the machine tool depending on the tool operation time and the machining cycle being implemented were shown. The researchers proposed the possibility of using the recorded data to develop an algorithm for automatic diagnosis of catastrophic tool wear. The usefulness of the collected and analysed data in the context of developing a method for determining the machine electricity demand was indicated.

Comparative Analysis of the Production Process of a Flange-Type Product by the Hybrid and Traditional Method with the Use of Simulation Methods

“…Also, ecological aspects, including energy consumption of production processes, are an important element of Industry 4.0 and the era of digitization of enterprises. In the literature on the subject, you can find many scientific studies devoted to the possibilities of optimizing the machining process in terms of energy efficiency, among others by collecting and processing large amounts of data on power and operations [24] and the use of modern methods [25], including artificial intelligence methods for planning. Such research was carried out by, among others Al Hazza et al, Who in the publication [26] presented the optimal parameters of continuous treatment in relation to the minimum cost of energy consumption while maintaining the surface roughness within the acceptance range using a multitasking genetic algorithm.…”

Analysis of the Suitability of Signal Features for Individual Sensor Types in the Diagnosis of Gradual Tool Wear in Turning

“…In the paper [6], the impact of the tool wear on the energy consumption of machining processes was analyzed. The presented results showed that an upward trend occurred in energy consumption by the machine tool together with progressive tool wear.…”
