Minimum quantity economically reasonable alternative wet machining. The dual-spindle Specht 550 from Cross Hüller uses minimun quanitity lubrication to double productivity compared to two...
There are 3 types of water-based metalworking fluid concentrates. Each type is defined by the amount of mineral oil it contains. Soluble oil fluids contain the most mineral oil, while semi-synthetic...
Water-soluble fluids and emulsion fluids have a high dilution or very low concentration and include high water content fluids (HWCF). Soluble oil fluids form an emulsion when mixed with water. The...
Advantage of Through-Spindle Coolant
Nearly all modern machine tools and machining centres are equipped with coolant supplies, because high-speed cutting tools require both cooling and lubrication to...
Lytron recommends using a 30/70 glycol-water mixture with its recirculating chillers whenever the coolant temperature set point is below 10°C (48°F). The glycol lowers the freezing point of the...
