Reducing Energy Losses in Some Classes of Woodworking Machines — Optimization Solutions

Abstract

In this paper, the losses of kinetic energy in big band saw machines are examined. Expressions have been obtained to calculate the kinetic energy of the mechanical system in the ideal and the real case. With the help of these expressions, the final dependencies for determining the energy losses for the studied class of machines were obtained. These dependences show the influence of linear and angular inaccuracies, i.e. of the parameters e and α. A number of optimization solutions have been proposed that allow the values of both parameters to be calculated so that energy losses are minimal. The proposed approach can be used in the design of other classes of woodworking machines ...
