It's quite simple. It's either on-
-or off.
It's all about energy. And it's spelled - electricity!
It's become our lifeline to experiences-
-communications and everyday life. Without it, everything stops.
The business producing it is crucial. Without them - no power at all!
That's why manufacturers of components for the power generation industry-
-play an extremely important role.
Now, by turning it all back to the beginning, it becomes obvious-
-why the choice of partner at the manufacturing stage is vital.
Sandvik Coromant supports world leading manufacturers in power generation-
-by developing products and solutions that increase productivity-
-precision and reliability. That's what we do - that's who we are!
What's important in this industry is to understand the customer needs.
It's not enough for us just to present a tool solution.
We must present the best know-how for the total application-
-including the cutting tool.
To succeed, the collaboration between product development-
-and application development plays a crucial role.
A good example was when the CoroMill 600 was developed.
A project where product development and application development-
-developed, together with key customers, a brand new tool.
CoroMill 600 is a milling concept developed-
-for a specific component, in this case a turbine blade.
One benefit with CoroMill 600 is the "iLock" system-
-that is able to hold a round insert extremely secure and precise.
When the insert is locked in the CoroMill 600, the geometry's design-
-provides optimized cutting conditions, regardless of the depth of the cut.
The tool also counteracts vibrations very well.
With this tool, customers experience longer tool life-
-and are able to machine tougher materials-
-and run slender components without vibrations.
To summarize, tool life will increase-
-and our customers will be able to produce more components.
Today, Sandvik Coromant is a truly global company-
-with representation in every corner of the world.
Presenting new solutions to increase our partners' productivity.
But exactly why we have become the market leader-
-is a question we leave to others to answer.
In Kawasaki, just outside Tokyo city center, we visit Fuji Electric-
-a truly global company in the power generation industry.
Well-known as an expert in manufacturing-
-and pioneers in cutting-edge, innovative energy technology.
Complicated machining is needed to fit the stationary blade to the casing-
-and the rotating blade to the turbine rotor.
We discussed solutions with Sandvik Coromant-
-and they then produced a number of tools to help fit these blades-
-which contributed to improving our productivity.
Continually improved productivity is a challenge for us.
Sandvik Coromant has been of great use to us-
-by offering many programs for productivity improvement.
It is a partnership-
-which helps us improve processing accuracy and delivery times.
The need for electricity has grown steadily-
-for a long time, on a global basis.
And we must not forget that there are today about 1.3 billion people-
-who don't have access to electricity.
And the power generation area is expected to grow about 80 percent-
-in the period from 2009 to 2035.
So, when talking about the future power generation business-
-make sure to choose a partner who can support you with the right know-how-
-and solutions for your productivity.
We do a lot of documented testing, we develop a lot of proven applications.
That knowledge is shared throughout the company-
-so we are able to apply what we have learned, through all that-
-to help our specific customers for their specific needs.
As always, decision making is quite complex.
But when talking about power and the power generation business-
-it's actually quite easy.
Either you are off...
...or you're on!
