Energy losses in big band saw machines – analysis and optimization

What is it about?

In this study, the energy losses in big band saw machines are investigated. These losses are caused by the geometric and angular inaccuracies with which the leading wheels are made. Expressions for calculating the kinetic energy of the mechanical system in the ideal and the real cases are obtained. For this purpose, expressions for calculating the velocities of the centers of the masses in two mutually perpendicular planes are obtained. A dependence for calculation of the kinetic energy losses of the mechanical system in final form is received. Optimization procedure is used to determine the values of the parameters at which these losses have minimum values. The proposed study can be used to minimize energy losses in other classes of woodworking machines

Why is it important?

This study presents various optimization solutions that can reduce the actual energy consumption of the band saw machines in the operation mode. In this case, it is necessary to use optimization procedures, as well as to compile the appropriate objective functions. These functions are used by the optimization procedures to calculate the optimal parameter values. In this way, it can be ensured that the band saw machines will operate in the optimal mode with minimum energy losses.
