Sandvik Coromant Demonstrates How To Obtain More Haste With Less Waste
Sandvik Coromant product manager, Rolf Olofsson, explains a different approach to steel turning (waste producing process) — how manufacturers can improve their sustainability without compromising process security.
Although CSR is important, Sandvik Coromant estimates manufacturers waste between 10 and 30 percent of material in their machining processes, with a typical machining efficiency of below 50, which includes design, planning and cutting phases.
A survey by OpenText showed 92 percent of manufacturers consider corporate social responsibility (CSR) to be important for their market reputation. According to the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development set out by the United Nations (UN), manufacturers are expected to minimise their environmental impact while going further than just optimising energy use.
The UN’s goals recommend two main avenues taking into account such factors as a growing population, finite resources and the linear economy. The first is to address these challenges with technology.
Industry 4.0 concepts — like cyber physical systems, big data or the Internet of Things (IoT) — are frequently cited as the way forward for manufacturers seeking to reduce waste. Yet, most manufacturers have yet to apply modern machines with digital capabilities to their steel turning operations.
Most manufacturers are aware of how important the choice of insert grade — for making steel turning more efficient and productive; and how this affects overall performance and tool life. Nonetheless, many are omitting the whole tooling concept; everything from advanced inserts, tool-holders and easy-to-adopt digital solutions.
Each of these factors can help to make steel turning more sustainable by reducing energy consumption and minimising waste.
