MAPAL as your partner for sustainable manufacturing
Sustainable and efficient with the right technology
Responsible use of resources, protecting the environment and keeping CO2 emissions to a minimum wherever we can – these have been MAPAL’s commitments since day one. Accordingly, the principle of sustainability plays a key role in every product and business division.
The key to efficient and sustainable manufacturing Combination tools can make a decisive contribution to sustainable manufacturing. By combining various machining steps in a single tool, tool changes and unnecessary travel distancecan be reduced considerably. This leads to shorter machine running times and enables significant energy savings. This method also offers the advantage that a lot less material is needed than with separate tools.
Ecological machining by minimising the use of cooling lubricant Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technology represents an ecologically responsible approach to machining. Because not as much cooling lubricant is used, fewer resources are consumed and less energy-intensive high-pressure pumping is needed. These savings have a positive effect on the carbon footprint. The technology also reduces the amount of waste produced by the contaminated cooling lubricant, which lowers disposal and recycling costs.MAPAL offers a wide range of MQL-compatible tools that are environmentally friendly and provide for a cleaner workplace.
Modularity for resource-efficient manufacturing Replaceable head systems and indexable inserts make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability and resource efficiency in the manufacturing industry. Instead of replacing entire tools, only the heads have to be replaced or the indexable insert turned and/or flipped. This saves materials and energy and reduces waste as well as the environmental impact. Modularity also facilitates flexible adaptation to various machining tasks, which increases operational efficiency. In short, replaceable head systems and indexable inserts provide a sustainable solution that fulfils both ecological and economical requirements.
