3. History of Machine Tools
Yet even today the basic machine tools remain largely the legacy of the 19th century.
19th Century
Machine tools were
the indispensable
innovations that
made mass
production a reality.
End of 19th Century
Complete revolution
had taken place in
the working and
shaping of metals.
20th Century till now
Witnessed
introduction of
refinements of
machine tools.

5. Best Sustainability Practices Followed
In Machine Tools Industry In India
 Key Challenges and possible areas of improvement:
 R&D & Technology denial: India needs to focus on research to have innovative
methods of production and improving aspects on sustainability.
 Dependence on Import and high Import duty: India imports nearly 70% of its demand.
 High interest rates: Higher interest rates make this industry less competitive.
 Green manufacturing and sustenance: This aspect has not been implemented in the
Indian manufacturing industry.

2. Sustainability practises by DMG MORI (USA) :
 Development of pumps turning off and electronics powering down after a user-
specified period of non-use.
 Use of inverter control to vary the output of motors to an on-demand state.

9. Best Sustainability Practices followed in
Machine Tools industry Across the World
3. Sustainability practises by Amada (Japan) :
 Introduction of material flow cost accounting in order to eliminate potential
environmental consequences of material and energy practices.
 Waste management reduction
 Use of alkaline water

10. THE WAY FORWARD
• Boundaries of Analysis :
 Cost apex to be replaced with sustainability.
8
• Energy Efficiency on Manufacturing System Level :
Waste Hierarchy Model

11. THE WAY FORWARD
• Energy Efficiency on Machine Tool Level :
 Essential to accurately measure the energy consumption during the process and
cannot solely rely to the theoretical modelling
9
 Blue Competence Sustainability Code:
 Clear criteria must be provided for companies to define,
review and communicate their commitment to the public.
 Companies belonging to the Blue Competence initiative
uphold high social, environmental and ethical standards.
