How does the cooling method affect the environmental footprint of the milling process?

Challenge and Motivation

  • The resource and energy efficiency of various machine tools and processes have been evaluated. Now, the impact of different cooling methods on the environment will be investigated.

Objective

  • Expand LCI database to include oil, emulsion, and Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL) cooling.
  • Analyze energy and resource consumption of each method.
  • Further development of ICTM specific LCI-database
