Fluidic systems interact functionally and spatially with a multitude of machine tool components. Against this background, the knowledge gained on the individual test benches is transferred to a complete machine in the 3rd phase. At component level, design optimizations of fluid channels are transferred to a real motor spindle. On this basis, a control strategy for demand-oriented, energy-efficient heat dissipation is developed, taking into account the special features of the overall machine. At system level, the operating and control concepts developed are transferred to real machine operation. Particular attention is paid e. g. to determination of time constants and controller parameterization for a real process. This allows to quantify the potential of the optimized demand-oriented cooling systems including spindle cooling in comparison to conventional cooling.
