E.cut and Green Economy

CO2, Greenhouse effect, Biodiesel, Wind, Solar… these are the magic words that the press uses to fill the media… and its pockets.
We must have the hybrid car, but nobody tells us how much it costs to change the batteries. The solar panel is mandatory if we have to redo the roof, but how much does maintenance really cost? Is it possible that a high-speed tunnel creates so much noise and nobody says anything about the devastating wind turbines that disfigure our landscape? And all these pseudo-alternative sources don’t have the sole effect of increasing the extraction of oil, increasing pollution, and the gain of some caliph?
And all this is called Green Economy!!!

What should the E.cut technology be called then?
Few machine tools have similar characteristics.
1) Low current consumption, max 3 KVA
2) Use natural water with completely biodegradable vegetable additive
3) Maximum material utilization thanks to a cut of only 0.2 mm.
4) Recovery and reuse of scrap up to minimum size, (see expensive or precious metals)
5) No swarf

These topics are only one part, the most obvious, to apply the word Green Economy to E.cut.
Actually, it is the technology itself that is revolutionary, and leads to unexpected gains and savings. It is erosion cutting technology at such a low cost (20 times less than wire erosion) that it is green.
It is the possibility of making pieces with radically different cycles, at an incredibly lower cost than Green.

E.cut allows you to “DO” Green Economy,
in your company,
and the gain, of putting it

in your pockets!

Small productions at low costs

These small teeth, made of particularly hard material, should be obtained from an ad hoc profile, from which the pieces are cut.
The problem is that there are no quantities!
The cost of the drawing line, and a minimum of production of drawn parts would be prohibitive to produce a few hundred of these pieces.
The precision required makes the cost of obtaining them from machining very high. Laser and water cutting do not guarantee tolerances and roughness, so the possible solution is wire erosion.
Any conventional wire erosion has a cost of operation, (wire, distilled water, ion exchange resins, filters, and … maintenance) ranging from 10 to 15 euros / hour.
The cost of each piece is therefore about one euro. 500 pieces cost 500 euro.

cut has an operating cost that does not exceed 40 cents per hour, so, in abundance, each piece costs less than 5 cents. 500 pieces cost 25 euros!

The difference in cost is not, however, the only advantage.
With Ecut, the “open” machining, i.e. not in a immersed tank like conventional wire erosion, makes the fastening equipment extremely simple, inexpensive and easy to place. You can do this during the day, and leave the machine “in production” at night!
Another important aspect is that the cost does NOT depend on the quantity to be carried out. Producing 10 or 5000 teeth has a cost per tooth that is always the same.
The economic quantity of production is 1! So do not put under at least 500 (or 5000), otherwise they cost too much.
If you need 224 pieces, produce 224, not 5000!
