Energy efficiency measures implemented in machine tools and processes can significantly reduce operating costs through regulated feed modules, synchronous motors, optimized operating modes for cooling lubricant pumps, pneumatics, and automatic machine turn-off, as well as heat reclamation and low-wattage valves and motors. These sustainability efforts result in annual cost savings of 7,000 euros per machine while providing environmental and competitive benefits for customers, society, and manufacturers.
