With the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, Industry 4.0 in manufacturing has been launched. As the core pillar of industrial manufacturing, computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools face significant challenges in data acquisition transmission and storage due to their complex structure, high volume of data points, strong time-series characteristics, and large amounts of data. To address the shortcomings of existing compression algorithms in quantization methods for large amounts of data in the instruction-domain, this paper proposes a quantization method based on distortion rate evaluation and linear fitting entropy reduction transformation, which aims to compress state signals such as the load power and load current while ensuring the availability of the data. This approach provides technical support for the transmission of high-frequency big data and meets the lightweight data acquisition requirements of digital twins for CNC machine tools. Compared to the empirical approach, this approach was more accurate and more computationally efficient.
