Abstract: The evaluation of machine tool energy efficiency grade is the basis for improving energy efficiency. Most of the existing evaluation methods mostly use energy utilization and specific energy to evaluate the energy efficiency of specific machining processes, without considering the influence of machining capacity on machine tool energy efficiency evaluation. To comprehensively evaluate machine tools energy efficiency grade, the machine tools energy efficiency grade evaluation method based on Self-organizing Map and Kmeans (SOM-Kmeans) is proposed in terms of machining capacity and energy consumption characteristics. Firstly, the energy consumption and machining capacity characteristics are analyzed, and then the multi-period energy consumption characteristics and machining capacity index are constructed. Secondly, the cluster analysis of machine tool energy efficiency information is carried out using SOM-Kmeans and the machine tool energy efficiency grade is obtained based on principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method are verified by actual cases.
