Machine tools are one of the most representative machining systems in manufacturing.The energy consumption of machine tools has been a research hotspot and frontier for green low-carbon manufacturing.However,previous research merely regarded the material removal(MR)energy as useful energy consumption and ignored the useful energy consumed by thermal control(TC)for maintaining internal thermal stability and machining accuracy.In pursuit of energy-efficient,high-precision machining,more attention should be paid to the energy consumption of TC and the coupling relationship between MR and TC.Hence,the cutting energy efficiency model considering the coupling relationship is established based on the law of conservation of energy.An index of energy consumption ratio of TC is proposed to characterize its effect on total energy usage.Furthermore,the heat characteristics are analyzed,which can be adopted to represent machining accuracy.Experimental study indicates that TC is the main energy-consuming process of the precision milling machine tool,which overwhelms the energy consumption of MR.The forced cooling mode of TC results in a 7％reduction in cutting energy efficiency.Regression analysis shows that heat dissipation positively contributes 54.1％to machining accuracy,whereas heat generation negatively contributes 45.9％.This paper reveals the coupling effect of MR and TC on energy efficiency and machining accuracy.It can provide a foundation for energy-efficient,high-precision machining of machine tools.
