Case studies
• Questions• Does the acceleration from 5000 rpm towards 42000 rpm for high precision milling produces a power
peak? What could be a good alternative strategy for acceleration in spindle speed?
• What are the most energy-consuming subprocesses to produce this part?
• Are there general energy-saving potentials in manufacturing aluminium?
• How much energy does the robot consumes in idle time?
• Could we use the robot also as an automatic deburring machine to save labour costs?
• Is there another method or strategy for surface milling to minimise the energy consumption?
• There is no production in the weekend but I have to put my coolant pumps on to avoid algae and other dirt in the coolant water and coolant water tank. Is there another way or alternative so I canreduce the energy consumption in the weekend?
• What’s the consumption if we grind or turn (hard- and precision turning) a tolerance hole?
• What is the cost of compressed air?
• …

Cost of Compressed air leaks
Overall analysis
• Compressor electricity cost / year : € 11.627 and € 1.200 on maintenance
• Constant leak of 350 l/min (day and night) • some machine unmanned production at night, so compressor can not be turned off
• Older and historically expanded compressed air net
• Compressor switches on 5 times per hour (day and night)• Too many leakages
• Installed pressure on the compressor is 10 bar• Normally 6.8 bar is sufficient
• One machine is consuming a lot of compressed air
• Every machine has a blowing pistol (old models) with a consumption of 400l/min

Minimum quantity of lubrication
• Main reasons of implementing MQL in the machine tool:• Improved surface quality (less surface roughness) as a result of 100 % lubrication
• Selling price for near-dry chips is higher then wet chips
• Less waste of oil
• Recycling wet chips is more difficult
• More maintenance with emulsion coolant: filters, refill emulsion coolant,…
• Main reasons of not implementing MQL:• Parts have to be cleaned after machining
• Spray of oil need ventilation system and filter
• Trend: Dry machiningmore expensive cutting tools

2-CUT Intelligent Production Scheduling
• Movement of peak period to a quiet period
• Same energy consumption as in the past, moved in time
Practical example
NIKO , a company in Sint-Niklaas (switching materials, door communication systems, lighting control and home automation
systems) bought a software programm to analyse their energy consumption. They followed their peak power en this led to several
changes to a high reduction in their peak power. They changed the line of galvanisation to the night in this spares them 15% of the
energy bill per year!Source: Voka.be

Benchmark product
• Objectives• To compare energy consumption of machine tools
(same family: 5-axis, 3-axis, turning, turn-milling machines) in several companies
• To analyse the "energy delta" between a benchmark product made without taking care of energy-friendly alternatives and strategies and one made with these optimizations
• To make the same product periodically (e.g. 6 months, per year,…) on a machine tool to analyze when maintenance is needed, to have a good maintenance plan
• The benchmark product is designed considered accuracy as well, so it could fullfil a double role
