The main goal in manufacturing is to minimize production time, cost, energy and resources while maintaining or even improving performance. The main influence on process efficiency in metal cutting can be related to the machining parameters, while performance also depends on the material behavior such as strain rate, machining temperature and cutting forces. In the past, industry was searching for higher efficiency mainly by using higher production rates, achieved with higher cutting conditions. However, during the last decade the production process chain has been controlled more and more by the near-net-shape of semi-finished components and the use of high performance processes. This paper presents established and new applications of process modifications, substitutions, optimizations as well as the use of hybrid processes. In high performance cutting (HPC) additional elements play an important role, for example tool design and tool material, wear and tool life, coolant strategies, including dry cutting, MQL, cryogenic and high pressure flushing as well as the machine tool properties. Furthermore, this paper presents and discusses examples of the influence of process parameters in turning, milling, drilling, grinding and impact cutting under HPC conditions on the energy and resources efficiency in the automotive, aerospace, dies and moulds, micromachining and heavy duty industries.

Today highly complex components are manufactured on NC-controlled machinetools. The NC programs, controlling these machines, are usually automatically generated by CAM software. This automatic processing is often erroneous. The VR-based realistic machine simulation, presented in this paper, extends the usual content of a machine simulation, like material removal and collision detection, by various new aspects. The coupling of a real NC unit allows the recognition and elimination of all process- as well as controller-caused errors. The integration of the multi-body simulation enables the consideration of inertia, machine rigidity and milling cutter deflection.

In machinetools several time and position varying heat sources causes complex temperature distributions. The resulting problems are varying thermal deformations which cause a loss of accuracy as well as non optimal drive conditions. An option to deal with that issue is to use structure integrated SM-actuators which use the thermal energy accumulated by machining processes to yield an actuator displacement. That creates a structure inherent control loop. There the shape-memory-elements work as sensing element as well as actuation element. The plant is defined by the thermal and mechanical behaviour of the surrounding structure. Because of the closed loop operation mode, the mechanical design has to deal with questions of stability and parameter adjustment in a control sense. In contrast to common control arrangements this issues can only be influenced by designing the actuator and the structure. To investigate this approach a test bench has been designed. The heat is yielded by a clutch and directed through the structure to the shape memory element. The force and displacement of the actuator are therefore driven directly by process heat. This paper presents a broad mechanical design approach of the test bench as well as the design of the SM-actuator. To investigate the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the structure-integrated actuator, a model of the test bench has been developed. The model covers the thermal behaviour of the test bench as well as the thermo-mechanical couplings of the shape memory actuator. The model has been validated by comprehensive measurements.

This paper proposes an approach for supporting the analysis of collected energy consumption data in combination with structured system models to reveal correlations between energy usage and related properties of products, operations and equipment. The described method serves as a starting point for the creation of tailored simulation models for energy consumption forecasts that can be used in the planning phase of manufacturing systems. Therefore several energy-oriented simulation methods are introduced and discussed regarding their suitability for different use cases in manufacturing engineering.
One approach in the area of material development Is the designing of materials properties by grain refinement. Methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) can create ultrafine-grained or nanostructured metallic materi...

The development approach for an energy storage system with supercapacitors in the DC link of the drive unit in machinetools is focused on its optimal sizing in consideration of peak power reducing and energy efficiency improvement. The required change of parameters for the DC link voltage control was taken into account. The energy consumption of an electric drive with and without the energy storage system was investigated by means of experimental energy measurements and simulations of the energy consumption in Matlab/SimPowerSystem.
