25/06/2024Sustainability is real at GEMINIS: long-life lathes for a responsible future
At GEMINIS we are fully aware of the environmental situation we face. Therefore, in the design of our products and services, we identify, control and continuously improve the environmental aspects throughout their life cycle, trying to reduce and improve their environmental impact. Proof of this is that our eco-design management system is ISO 14006:2011 certified.
Our focus is on the process of designing and manufacturing robust machines with a longer service life, trying to reduce the environmental impact in all phases of the machine cycle.
Applying eco-design in the manufacture of machining lathes allows us to identify energy saving measures and achieve these savings, to reduce electrical losses, to change materials, to improve energy efficiency and to reduce or eliminate lubricants, thus having a positive impact on the environment.
On the other hand, toxicity, material hygiene, structure and durability of our products, materials and finishes, are aspects that we take into account in the manufacturing process to make our machines the most environmentally friendly lathes. Internal management and customer service are not forgotten either.
Benefits of eco-design applied to GEMINIS developments:
- Noise reduction.
- Better use of lubricants and coolants.
- Possibility of multitasking machining.
- Improved chip recycling.
- Lower energy consumption/savings.
- Shorter cycle times.
- Improvement of energy yields.
- Lower heat generation.
- Lower maintenance.
- Teleservice for solving minor problems.
- Power supply control.
- Elimination of downtime related to cleaning.
- No use of paints with toxic components and reduction in the use of solvents.
