However, there has been an increased interest recently in more energy-efficient process designs, due to new regulations and increases in energy charges. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a popular procedure using empirical models for optimising the energy consumption in cutting operations, but successful deployment requires good understanding of the methods employed and certain steps are time-consuming. In this work, a novel method that automates the feature extraction when applying RSM is presented. Central to the approach is a continuous Hidden Markov model, where the probability distribution of the observations at each state is represented by a mixture of Gaussian distributions. When applied to a case study, the automated extracted material cutting energies lay within 1.12% of measured values and the spindle acceleration energies within 3.33% of their actual values.
