Abstract
Developing a dynamic model of energy consumption for CNC machines in automotive industries helps to reduce the energy consumption by these machines. Since the last decade, a significant rise in energy usage has occurred due to the growth in the developing world. According to International Energy Outlook 2013, this trend will continue over the next three decades. As for CNC machines, there are various parameters in milling and turning operations that play a significant role in reducing energy consumption. In this study, parameters of machine tools are varied and the energy consumption is measured to identify the parameters that have the greatest impact on energy savings. Energy consumption models for milling and turning processes is developed by using system dynamics in order to comprehend the behavior of complex system and transform the static model of energy demand to the dynamic model.
