Sandvik Coromant Launches Payback Calculator on Corporate Website


Fair Lawn, New Jersey, May 12, 2008 - Sandvik Coromant's corporate website now features the Payback Calculator, an investment and component analysis tool that allows customers to calculate their own returns on investment.

After customers input the cost for a new machine and an estimate on how long it will take to recoup the invested funds, they are taken through four steps that evaluate everything from required man-hours and delays in machining to levels of fixed machine costs and preferred production times.

The calculator then draws conclusions from the analysis of entered values, offering instant feedback to the direct and indirect benefits of making smart choices when selecting new machine tools.

Sandvik Coromant developed the Payback Calculator as a part of its Machine Investment process, a total package of services that aids customers in unleashing the potential of machine investments right from the start.

"Optimized performance and reduced payback times are key considerations in purchasing decisions," said Sven-Olof Dahlqvist, Senior Manager of Machine Investment at Sandvik Coromant. "By using the payback calculator, customers are able to compare a standard investment and resulting profit to that offered by Sandvik Coromant and see that productivity gains of 10 to 15 percent are possible if the right machine and tooling choices are made."
