LCM’s Digital Twin technology has enabled Salvagnini to bring its press brakes to market faster, increase product efficiency and operate the machines in a flexible and sustainable way. Wolfgang Kunze, MSc, MBA Chief Technical Officer (CTO) | Salvagnini Maschinenbau GmbH

Our certifications

For us, quality and sustainability go hand in hand. Continuously improving our processes and ensuring a safe working environment are of the utmost importance to us. We have therefore successfully implemented several international standards and are constantly working to maintain and expand them. Here we present the relevant certificates that prove our commitment in these areas:

Our Green Technology references

Machines and systems

Energy-efficient machine and plant design LCM at work: With our expertise in digital product development, modeling/simulation and data analysis, we support companies on the way to energy-efficient and CO2-reduced operation of their plants. Company partners: Cemtec, NG Green

Wind power

Hydrostatic drive transmission for wind turbines LCM at lofty heights: LCM develops durable, fast-switching valves that are optimized for use in DDT (Digital Displacement Technology). Fluid power drive solutions based on the DDT significantly increase the overall efficiency of wind turbines. Corporate partner: MHI-Vestas

Hydropower

Optimized green electricity generation LCM in the river: We use multi-objective optimization to dimension tailor-made generators for run-of-river power plants that achieve up to 97.5 % efficiency and also set new standards in part-load efficiency. Company partner: WWS Wasserkraft

Electric shipping

Electric motors for shipping LCM on the high seas: heralding the energy revolution in shipping. We played a key role in supporting the Voith Group in the development of the first electrified Voith Schneider Propeller (eVSP) and are working together on further solutions. Corporate partner: Voith

E-mobility

E-mobility LCM on the road: Whether powered by battery or H2 fuel cell, the electric motor is the driving force in electric vehicles. We use state-of-the-art simulation methods to set new standards in the design of electric drives – in the vehicle and in the development infrastructure. Company partner: Magna Powertrain Engineering Center Steyr

Green hydraulics

Digital pressure maintenance unit for composite heating presses LCM puts the pressure on: Replacing standard slide valves with high internal leakage with digital valves, in combination with optimized control technology, enables savings of 80 % in energy costs, a CO2 reduction of several tons per year and at the same time offers a quieter, more robust and more precise production process. Company partner: Miba Frictec GmbH

Platooning

CFD simulation for automotive LCM in flow: We have created an automated workflow with which the flow around vehicles can be mapped in a simulation model. This allows, for example, the potential of platooning for reducing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption to be investigated. Company partners: Hödlmayr International GmbH, DigiTrans GmbH

Climate neutrality

Open Strategy Initiative: Climate neutrality 2040 LCM as initiator and moderator: In three collaborative workshops, decision-makers from our corporate partners identified the most pressing issues to be addressed jointly: CO2 balancing, circular economy and energy efficiency. In the next phase, a low-threshold exchange of information will take place in workshops. Participation is still possible, you are welcome to contact us. Corporate partners: AVL, Bosch Rexroth, Energie AG, Engel, Greiner, Lenzing, Primetals, Rosenbauer, voestalpine AG, etc.

Climate-neutral company

The success of emission reductions depends to a large extent on voluntary and consistent action by industry in the industrialized countries. So we at Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH are also prepared to take responsibility for the world that we are leaving to our children and grandchildren.

For this reason, we have had the greenhouse gas emissions caused by our company’s activities recorded and offset them by purchasing a total of 594 climate protection certificates for the years 2022 and 2024. With these certificates, we are supporting a wind power project in Mauritania and a biomass project in Holland that has been certified by the VCS standard.

We are aware of our special responsibility as a company towards future generations and have acted accordingly. Fokus Zukunft GmbH & Co KG has calculated the climate impact of our company and our entire product range for us: Our CO2 footprint is 198 tons of CO2-equivalent pollutants per year. To illustrate: On average, a person in Austria produces around 9.65 tons of CO2 per year through their lifestyle.
