摘要

Energy consumption is responsible for a substantial part of the environmental impact generated by industrial production (Gutowski et al, 2006). Currently, minimising the energy consumption is hardly a priority for many machine designers, since they concentrate; primarily on improving functionality, accuracy and safety. Nevertheless, alternative machine designs with improved energy consumption are emerging. This paper investigates the case of a laser cutting machine as common sheet metal processing machine tool. This paper verifies the potential for energy improvement by means of a case study. The analysis covers both the energy consumption during productive and non-productive time. Energy consumption improvement opportunities are identified. For this purpose a conventional CO_2 laser-cutting machine was investigated and compared with a possible fibre laser based machine configuration. The analysis shows that the CO_2 laser source and the chiller unit are the largest energy consumers during productive time. During non-productive time, 12% of the yearly energy consumption is required to keep the chiller and other components active. For the alternative machine configuration it is assumed that no energy is needed during off-mode. The same scenario saves 16.6 MWh during productive time because of the improved efficiency of a fibre laser source.
