Making machine tools work more efficiently. Researchers are reducing the energy consumption of modern machining centres.

Artikel

When machine tools process complex components, often only about 20 % of the energy deployed flows into the actual metal cutting processes. The main loads tend to be peripheral machine components, such as cooling systems or hydraulic drives. In the Maxiem project, scientists from the Technische Universtät Darmstadt and industrial partners are showing how this energy requirement can, in ideal cases, be more than halved.
