Energy efficiency

Drive system

Combustor and fan casings GP 7000Energy recovery when axes are braking
Use of servo drives with a very high level of efficiency
Energy use according to demand with small baseload
Warm-up program supports resumption of production without delay

Hydraulic with accumulator charging circuit

An accumulator charging circuit is the most efficient strategy to supply hydraulic energy
Pressure-free oil circulation reduces base load and energy requirements and improves the oil quality

Coolant high-pressure circuit

Automatic shutdown of the pump motor
Pressures and pump outputs can be adapted to the particular machining task
Use of variable pressure reducing valves
Speed-controlled pump motor (optional)

Compressed air

Automatic shutdown of compressed air
Use of high quality pneumatic systems
Full functionality guaranteed even at low system pressure of 5 bar

Cooling systems

Cooling systems operate in an intermittent mode with low switching frequency
Interface for central cooling-water connection and thus further energy saving effects

Optimized mechanical system

Use of low-friction roller-bearing guides in all linear axes
