Savings calculator for aerospace firms
Sandvik Coromant is suggesting that it can offer aerospace companies investing in new machine tools productivity improvements over a 'standard' investment.
The company’s website now features a payback calculator to allow aerospace manufacturers to calculate the return on their investment.
After customers input the cost of a new machine tool and estimate how long it will take to recoup the invested funds, they are taken through four steps that evaluate everything from required man-hours and delays in machining, to fixed machine costs and preferred production times.
The calculator then draws conclusions from the analysis of entered values and offers instant feedback on the direct and indirect benefits of making smart choices when selecting new machine tools.
Productivity gains of 10 to 15 per cent are said to be achievable when customers compare a standard investment and resulting profit to that offered by one supported by Sandvik Coromant’s tooling.
