ANALYSING THE ENERGY SATURATION OF CYLINDRICAL GRINDING MACHINES

Constantly rising energy prices and the current challenges of securing a sustainable power supply are driving research into how to reduce the energy consumption of metalworking equipment. To efficiently manage and reduce energy consumption by grinding machines, a system of measures to minimize energy consumption for cutting, for moving elements of the technological system, and for auxiliary equipment has been proposed. The nature of the change in power consumption depending on the period of engine operation is shown on the graph. When determining the total power of the technological system of a grinding machine, it is proposed to take into account the power of electric motors for driving the rotation of the grinding wheel, workpiece, hydraulic drive pump, cooling fan, spindle bearing lubrication pump, guide lubrication pump, coolant supply pump, magnetic separator drive, coolant cleaning filter-transporter drive.
