The increasing importance of sustainability in the manufacturing industry necessitates that, alongside economic efficiency, resource and energy consumption must also be taken into account when planning manufacturing processes. In particular, the mechanical processing of components on machine tools offers significant potential to reduce energy consumption during machining. This article presents a method for planning energy-efficient machining processes, illustrated through the example of turning. The proposed planning methodology is based on mathematical optimization and determines economically optimal cutting parameters while simultaneously ensuring efficient energy utilization. The effectiveness of the planning approach is subsequently validated through a case study involving a sample-turned component.
