Abstract
In conformity with the Kyoto Protocol, by the year 2020 the European Union undertook to reduce CO2 emission by at least 20%. The main sources of this greenhouse gas are transport, combustion of fossil fuels for power generation, and some industrial processes [1]. The most effective ways to protect environment are based on pollution prevention and on searching and elimination of its causes. Application of this strategy to manufacturing processes led to formation of “eco-design” concept. This paper deals with life cycle assessment of mechatronic systems, in our case CNC machine tool. It contains analysis of energy and material consumption during raw material extraction for machine tool production and actual machine tool production. Afterwards, impacts of these life cycle phases on the environment were evaluated according to chosen impact categories.
