COmmENT According to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, cutting global greenhouse gas emissions to meet Net Zero targets is arguably the most ambitious engineering project ever undertaken. So


it’s absolutely fascinating to see the efforts OEMs and


designers are going through to help achieve this goal. This month, for instance, you can read how FANUC UK

has combined its own servo technology with smart energy recovery to build an injection moulding machine that consumes 10-15% less energy (page 18); how adhesive design will continue to evolve to better enable sustainability (page 29); and how the use of electric actuators have enabled IMA ILAPACK to build an all- electric flow wrapper that uses 37% less power than a conventional machine (page 40). In addition, SMC Pneumatics explains that, by designing pneumatic machinery with a lower operating pressure, OEMs can cut energy costs by up to 20% (page 22). As Theorem Solutions states in its cover story (page 8): “This is a challenging yet exciting time for the


engineering industry as organisations are facing significant global challenges around delivering greener designs that will provide a more sustainable future for us all.”
