Eurostars Project Score
SCORE is an innovation in the machining methods of tomorrow.
What do we want to do?
Reduce carbon emissions and energy usage in machining by acting on : cutting tool strategy, lubrication techniques and swarf recyclability, leading to 20% global savings.
Why we want to do it?
Realistic approach and real digits concerning electrical power use, water consumption (whether it is drinkable water from its origin), cutting fluids/oils, compressed air or even tooling costs is close to impossible to get.
What will be the value offer?
SCORE will develop a modular tool kit for reducing the environmental impactof machining operations, born from a knowledge base including academic andindustrial expertise.
Workpackages
WP1 : Emissions Profiling Over Product Lifecycle
To define and establish a method for profiling emissions in machining operations and build a dashboard to display emissions data highlighting high resource use areas. This will form the SCORE Basic Package offering and will be the foundation for the SCORE toolkit. This work package will be completed within a 24 months time frame.
WP2 : Oil Reduction in Machining
To build knowledge on solutions able to reduce by 20% the amount of cutting lubricant used in reference to wet machining and to define new innovative numerical and experimental lab-test methods or devices able to quantify circular economy parameters relative to cutting lubricant. The quantified parameters will be delivered to WP5 for interpretation within a timeframe of 26 months.
WP3 : High Grade Swarf Recycling
To evaluate the level of recyclability of swarf generated in WP2 and WP1 and to propose new innovative solution to improve the recyclability value of swarf by 20%. The new method developed will be implemented into WP1 and WP4 within a 24months time frame and continue to be improved until project end.
WP4 : Energy Optimisation of Machining Processes
To evaluate the best potential of energy saving considering the machining process (toolpath, cutting geometry, lubricant, cutting data) and keep existing solutions able to reach an energy saving level superior to 30 % compare to wet machining within a timeframe of 12 months and to define a collecting data method as well as data pre-analysis to feed WP5 within a timeframe of 24 months and continued improvement of method until project end.
WP5 : TRL4 prediction model designing and circular Economy Test case
To define collecting data strategy together with WP1,2,3,4 and to collect the data from these WP in order to provide novel approach of an hybrid TRL 3 prediction model co-exploiting lab test results and production data within the first 24 months. Building of TRL4 proof of concept prediction algorithm aiming to propose at least 2 potential solutions to user one aiming to maximize circular economy gain. Both productivity gains and loss should be addressed in the solutions. Final objective is to implement solutions in the test case within a timeframe of 36 months.
WP6 : Project Management and exploitation
To coordinate all workpackages activities, work and deliverables from WP1 to WP5 while ensuring timeline is respected. Support activities such as travel accomoditations, communication, training, seminars, disseminations are mainly adresse in this workpackage. Intellectual property subject is also adressed here.
