Abstract

Abstract: To realize the energy consumption predictions and simulations of CNC processing, the energy consumption model of machine tools was built by using the method of specific energy consumption based on Vericut Force module, and the CAD-CAM-ECS energy consumption simulation platforms of energy consumption were built by combining the UG CAM module and Vericut Force module, the energy consumption simulation of parts were realized in the machining processes. The results show that the energy consumption of machine tool model may effectively predict energy consumption of machine tools in the part processing based on IPW(in process workpiece) conditions. The CAD-CAM-ECS energy consumption simulation platform may accurately shine upon design characteristics of high energy consumption in machining process simulation, which may provide the basis for part design and processing optimization.
