Conventional Milling Machine into CNC Machine Tool Remanufacturing, Eco-comparison Ratio Based Analysis

Abstract

Aims: Machine tool remanufacturing input material, energy and Co 2 emissions are assessed to help conclude feedbacks about environmental benefits and burdens, what is necessary to enable educational institutions to conduct remanufacturing of machine tools as a business to deliver closing the loop supply chain for sustainable manufacturing. Study Design: Bridgeport manual milling machine is remanufactured within insights of new ecodesign ideas to change it into CNC vertical milling machine where machine enabled to be flexible to embed cheap emerged CNC technology. Thus enough data can be acquired to be analyzed for feasibility study. Methodology: A step by step case study of CNC machines technology introduction into conventional machine architecture is illustrated.

Conventional milling into CNC machine tool remanufacturing: Sustainability modeling

“…By applying comparative literature betweenAbdullah et al (2018) andJiang, Zhang & Sutherland (2011), disassembly-assembly oriented remanufacturing system can be emerged,Figure 12. Based onAbdullah et al (2015), disassembly-assembly oriented remanufacturing system can enhance technical viability of remanufacturing-upgrading of CNC machine tool,Figure 14, comparing with remanufacturing system show byJiang, Zhang & Sutherland (2011) inFigure 13.…”
