editorial “Play it again… Eric Schäfer editor-in-chief …Sam”. This legendary phrase from the 1942 film classic “Casablanca” is an ideal motto for the current hp tooling issue. Grinding, sharpening, and gear cutting are the machining processes that also give this issue the necessary polish. After all, GrindingHub, the next international trade fair for grinding technology, is just around the corner. There the focus will be on sustainability in connection with tools and machines. In times when the efficient consumption of energy and resources is crucial, optimized manufacturing process design and optimum use of grinding processes play a major role. The International Energy Agency (IEA), for example, sees energy efficiency as by far the strongest lever for CO 2 reduction. To improve the relationship between productivity and energy consumption, it helps to know how much energy is required and consumed and at which point in the process. In a machine tool, for example, the auxiliary units for cooling lubricant supply, cooling and hydraulics are the largest consumers, as scientific studies by RWTH Aachen University have recently discovered. Together with the main spindle, they account for more than two-thirds of a machine tool’s energy consumption. Resource-saving production is particularly relevant to grinding operations. This is because grinding is considered an energy-intensive manufacturing process within the process chain, since a comparatively small workpiece volume is machined at high cost. You can find out more about this in our preliminary report on GrindingHub, which invites you to think beyond the grinding process. Thinking beyond boundaries, expanding your horizons – that’s what we invite you to do with every issue of hp tooling. Our user reports take you on a journey around the world. This time, it’s off to Japan, India and Southeast Asia, to the USA and to Birmingham in England. Eric Schäfer editor-in-chief Top-level quality 10. - 13.
