The effects of inverter parameters to electric energy consuption in marble cutting machines

In this study, focused on studies made of inverter and without inverter in the marble cuttingpracess. The effect to electric energy consumption and specific energy of changing ofinverter parameters used in the marble cutting process are investigated. PC based blockcutter with circular diamond saw blade is used for cutting experiments. In experiments areinvestigated effect of inverter parameters to electric energy consumption and saw rotationspeed for a kind of marble called Usak green marble.In first stage of experiments, realized in 2866 m/min. stable of saw rotation speeds in 0,5-0,6-0,7 m/min. rotation speeds as without inverter. Afterwards processes are investigatedactive enrgy and specific energy consumpted as set a open loop V/f in energy saving modewith inverter and made in 0,5-0,6-0,7 m/min. rotation speeds and in 2389?2627?2866 sawrotation speeds. As a result, it is understood that if the correct cutting parameters aredetermined, energy consumption can be optimized.Keywords: PC based instrumentation, inverter, energy saving, open loop V/f, specificenergy, optimize.
