Methods for evaluation of energy efficiency of machine tools

摘要

Energy efficiency of machine tools proves to be an ongoing challenge to manufacturing industries as a number of international initiatives shows. The first part of the ISO 14955 series focusses on the basic understanding, power metering and energy efficient design of machine tool. The ISO standardization body (ISO/IC 39 WG 12) is currently working on the second part of the ISO 14955 series, which aims at defining of a standardized test method. However, a method meant for standardization could not been identified yet, due to the versatile advantages and disadvantages of the different test methods.
