Customer Impact

‘Green Machine’ designed for sustainability

Throughout the Gleason organization, initiatives are underway to improve our environmental sustainability – and help customers meet their sustainability objectives as well. One example is the new Gleason 280C Bevel Gear Cutting Machine, which represents the first of a new generation of products from Gleason that incorporate a host of design features that reduce the environmental impact of their operation day to day.

Energy savings and reduced waste result from newly designed features, such as:

• PowerDryCutting: Elimination of cutting fluids and their impact
  on the environment
• Polymer composite base construction: Requires less energy to
  manufacture
• 40 psi system air pressure: Reduces compressor electrical power
  requirements
• Pneumatic-free doors: Requires less electrical power to operate
• Elimination of spindle air leak: Reduced compressor operation saves
  energy
