Optimization of oak sawing parameters based on energy consumption and surface roughness Optimierung der Parameter für das Sägen von Eichenholz auf der Grundlage des Energieverbrauchs und der Oberflächenrauigkeit

High energy consumption and poor processing quality are common problems in wood sawing. To address these issues, in this article, specific cutting energy and surface roughness were investigated with saw blade speed as control variables. Analysing the effect of parameters on specific cutting energy and surface roughness. The sawing parameters were optimised with the objectives of minimum specific cutting energy and minimum surface roughness. The findings indicate that specific cutting energy and surface roughness reduction with increasing rake angle; specific cutting energy and surface roughness decrease with increasing spindle speed; specific cutting energy decreases and surface roughness increases with increasing feed rate. ANOVA analysis reveals that sawing speed (n) has the most significant impact on specific cutting energy during oak cutting. The optimal solution derived from TOPSIS suggests a specific cutting energy of 2E7 J/m³ and a surface roughness of 1.758 μm. The innovation of this paper is the study of the specific cutting energy and the optimisation of parameters. These findings provide valuable theoretical and practical guidance for enhancing the efficiency and quality of oak processing while minimizing energy consumption.
