Abstract

The energy consumption within electric drives manufacturing is dominated by heating and cooling processes. As the optimization of these processes is often only based on the product quality, in practice a lot of consecutive heating up and cooling down phases can be observed leading to strongly varying temperature curves. Thus, high energy needs as well as long throughput times have to be approved. In order to overcome these obstacles and to optimize the products' temperature curves the Institute for Factory Automation and Production Systems developed a simulative approach on the basis of the program Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. The implemented Temperature Module is hereby not only able to track a product's temperature through the whole simulated production chain. It as well communicates with the energy module presented in [6] and [7]. This enables the possibility to calculate energy needs on the basis of the actual product temperature. For that purpose an example located in the field of electric stator manufacturing is investigated.
