For people who influence the choice of packaging mate-rial, this single choice can make the big-gest climate impact during a product manager or designer’s entire professional career. That’s the conclusion of a study done by IVL Swedish Environmental Re-search Institute for Iggesund Paperboard.The starting point was to study some of the commonest packag-ing types and compare the differ-ences in climate impact depending on the choice of packaging material.“There are tables giving carbon di-oxide emissions per kilo of material, but when you compare real examples of packaging, you realise the great importance of the choice of mate-rial,” comments Johan Granås, Sustain-ability Director at Iggesund Paperboard.“Plastic is a fantastic material for many applications and we use it ourselves when producing paperboard for food packaging that needs a thin plastic bar-rier to protect its contents,” he adds. “But we believe that decision makers in the packaging industry must know about the effects of their choice of material.”Packaging light bulbs in plastic or paper-board respectively is the most extreme example in the survey. By switching from plastic to paperboard, it is possi-ble to reduce the climate impact of the packaging by 99 per cent. In the exam-ple that was most favourable for plas-tic, a paperboard carton containing 500 grams of pasta was compared with the corresponding amount of pasta packed in a thin plastic bag. The conclusion was that the plastic bag has a 3.25 times larg-er climate impact than the paperboard carton. This is despite the fact that the bag only weighs one-sixth as much as the carton and has significantly worse protective and stacking properties.“There are masses of packagings that cannot be made in anything other than plastic today,” Johan Granås emphasises. “But there are also packagings that are made of plastic where it is easy to switch material without losing function at all – and it is logical to start there if we want to reduce packaging’s climate impact.”For the paperboard packagings used in the study, climate data for Iggesund’s paperboard Invercote was used. For the plastic materials, IVL drew on data from the databases used for doing life-cycle analyses. None of the paperboard packagings used in the study is made of material from Iggesund Paperboard.“This is a study that shows the climate impact of different types of packaging. The mandate to IVL was to be general. Neither they nor we know the climate data for each individual packaging. However, based on the recognised en-vironmental databases, this definitely indicates the great importance of the choice of material,” Granås concludes.IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute was jointly founded in 1966 by the Swedish government and industry to do research into industry’s air and water management issues. Today IVL is an environmental institute that focuses on the interplay between environmen-tal, economic and social perspectives.More info: www.iggesund.comHermle machining centre C 22 UP with pallet changer in tool makingWith its standardisation strategy and the C 22 UP machining centre from Hermle, the tool and mould making division of the WMF Group has managed to streamline die and tool production processes, thereby creating the scope for services for external customers. Today, the WMF Group, which was founded in 1853 as Metallwarenfab-rik Straub & Schweizer and has been part of the French SEB Group since 2016, rep-resents the best in cooking, drinking and dining. More than 2,200 employees at the Geislingen headquarters and the nearby Hayingen plant alone are engaged in the development and production of high-quality cookware and cooking knives. Many of these products are still manufac-tured through the primary and secondary forming of sheet metal blanks. The WMF Group manufactures most of the required tools in-house at its own tool shop in Geis-lingen. “For about 30 different knife models alone, we use between 100 and 150 die tools, each consisting of an upper and a lower tool made of hardened hot-forming steel,” explains Hans Brühl, Part Production and Tooling Technician at WMF. To guar-antee consistent high product quality, the mould makers have to rework the tools after roughly 3,000 strokes. This involves precisely milling and removing approxi-mately 0.5 mm of material, a process that is possible up to fifteen times with the dies. “In the past, we performed all these milling and finishing operations on an HSC milling machine. However, this machine could only accommodate two dies at a time, which then had to be processed successively and in several time-consuming setups. As knife NEWS | Manufacturing-Journal | 5 |Using a digital microscope instead of traditional magnification tools to re-pair and/or rework defective boards will improve the operator’s user expe-rience and pave the way for more effi-cient quality control thanks to the big-ger working area and real time image display. Once a printed circuit board has been identified as faulty during quality con-trol, repairing and reworking will most likely include hand soldering. However, due to the miniaturization of compo-nents in, e.g. smart phones and tablets, traditional tools such as magnification lamps and optical microscopes become insufficient or inexpedient.Digital microscopes replace tradi-tional magnification toolsToday, higher magnification levels than previously are needed when hand sol-dering ICs and capacitors due to the increasingly smaller components. How-ever, many operators find that magni-fying lamps are no longer able to pro-vide the required magnification levels. Moreover, optical microscopes, usually considered the alternative to magnify-ing lamps, have a small field of view, creating a limited working area and thus making it difficult for the operator to work under. A digital microscope will also improve cooperation between col-leagues by looking at a shared monitor.Repair and rework in real timeUsing a digital microscope to repair and rework defective boards will not only provide high magnification levels and increase usability, making quality control easier for the operator and thus enabling them to work more efficiently. A digital microscope will also display a live image of what happens beneath the camera with no delay, eliminating moments of irritation and improving the quality control working conditions.Improved ergonomics and hand-eye coordinationWith a digital microscope, the user can see the magnified object on a monitor, alleviating the operators of unneces-sary neck pains and headaches as they are no longer bending their necks to look through an ocular or magnifying lamp. Cases show that the elimination of straining work postures leads to less sick leave and staff infirmities.More info: www.tagarno.comproduction in Hayingen increased, more dies were obviously needed and this led to capacity shortages,” says Brühl when ex-plaining the situation at the time.Demands: Best surfaces in the shortest timeAn evaluation process, which included a se-ries of tests to assess contour accuracy, pre-cision and surface quality and to determine whether the specification of significantly reducing machining time for refinishing had been accomplished, saw the 5-axis ma-chining centre C 22 UP from Hermle come out on top. A machining process developed together with Hermle led to some extraor-dinary results: Not only was the desired re-producibility of contour accuracy and sur-face quality achieved, the machining time was also reduced considerably. Thanks to the equipment of the C 22 UP machining centre, featuring an 11-fold PW 150 pallet changer, it is now also possible to rework the dies automatically, in other words dur-ing the night and at weekends. This means additional capacity is now available for pro-cessing internal and external orders.Proven: Twice as fastThe fact that the WMF Group’s tool and mould making division was able to achieve new levels of productivity is due, on the one hand, to standardisation of the dies. On the other hand, a self-developed pal-let and workpiece clamping system with 4-fold bolting directly to the pallet and the automation provided by the PW 150 pallet changer have allowed machining to become significantly more efficient. Axel Spadinger, Head of Tool Engineering & Making at WMF Group GmbH, says in sum-mary: “We were able to reduce the machin-ing time by 50 percent and more when re-finishing the dies.

Digital microscopes integrated as part of the Quality Assur-ance in production and R&D depart-ments can often play an important role to clear these concerns. When inspect-ing bare solder boards, connectors or other components, digital microscopes allows the operator to zoom in on the product to either proof quality or to de-tect mistakes and defects and thereby change the production setup, prevent-ing errors to continue. By adding digital documentation possibilities, the user is also able to provide sufficient documen-tation material to customers and own documentation process. Furthermore, adding measurement and verification apps to the digital microscope enables the operator to further improve and ensure quality by measuring and vali-dating the product. Quality Assurance using a digital microscope could also be used by R&D engineers who need to in-spect a prototype of a board manually, since there is currently no procedure to inspect it automatically. This process is also called First Article Inspection (FAI) and is crucial to prevent quality issues later on when the product hits produc-tion and thereby the damage is far less comprehensive.More info: www.tagarno.comNEWS | For over three decades, steel company SSAB has delivered steel plates to UK-based Kocurek Excavators, the industry leaders in the manufacture of demoli-tion equipment, and My Inner Strenx members. SSAB helps family business Kocurek Excavators in Ipswich, Eng-land to constantly push the boundaries on behalf of their worldwide-custom-ers. The extreme forces needed when tearing down buildings with demoli-tion equipment up to 70 meters high is supported by SSAB’s Strenx perfor-mance steel to help them stand the test of time. “We have never received a faulty steel plate from SSAB,” David Kocurek, founder and Owner Direc-tor of Kocurek Excavators.Kocurek has been using SSAB’s steel in their prod-ucts for over three decades and finds that the material has several benefits, most significantly, the material’s ease to work with. “The key benefit for our company is that we can achieve the high technical results required from the product while welding under nor-mal conditions. I think that is the most important thing for me,” David Ko-curek comments. Another benefit has been that SSAB’s plate products are delivered blasted and primed, with-out any scale or rust on them. “With the primer, we have been able to weld straight on to the plates without any prior cleaning. This is an added benefit with SSAB’s plates. It has saved us a lot of time over the years.” The demolition excavators’ arms have a length of up to 70 meters. They need to be able to withstand extreme forces as they tear buildings down piece by piece. The use of Strenx performance steel pro-vides the required strength and helps in saving weight. “We are always push-ing the limits of what we are achieving with the excavators. We need to make the arms as high as possible, as our customers constantly want to go high-er. That is why it is so important that the steel has good fatigue resistance. So, we try to save weight by using a thinner material. Naturally we need to maintain strength, so we select SS-AB’s Strenx 700 steel to maintain the strength while reducing the thickness of the plate,” David Kocurek continues.More info: www.ssab.comSSAB successfully delivers steel plates to Kocurek Excavators for 35 yearsManufacturing-Journal | 7 |02.03 - 03.03 2019AGRO-PARK Agricultural FairVenue:Trade and Exhibition Center - Targi Lublin Dworcowa 1120-406 LublinPolandwww.agropark.pl12.03 - 14.03 2019PLASTIC, PACKAGING & PRINT ASIAInternational Plastic, Packaging, Print Machinery & Technology ShowVenue:Karachi Expo Centre University RoadKarachiPakistan www.plastpackasia.com.pk01.04 - 05.04 2019LNGInternational Conference and Exhibition on Liquefied Natural GasVenue:Perth Convention Exhibition Centre Cloisters SquarePerth Western 6850Australia www.lng2019.com06.05 - 09.05 2019TUTTOFOODProfessional Food Business ExhibitionVenue:Fiera Milano City Padiglioni 14, 15, 1620145, MilanoItaly www.tuttofood.itTRADE SHOWSFrom a traditional shelving system to an acclaimed storage systemRimaster is a leading company in the development and manufacture of cable harnesses, electrical cabinets, electron-ics, cabs and mechanical systems for special vehicles and industrial systems.
