We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pressure Coolant",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Moving bridge VMC is very dynamic, accurate from
Unisign, which we summarised at the time by saying "Moving bridge type CNC vertical machining centre combines powerful 5-axis machining capabilities with highly dynamic machine features and high product accuracy".
The day before,
we featured the news release CNC sliding head automatic machines specials from
NC Engineering: "Use of a CNC sliding head automatic lathe is being used by a medical instrumentation firm to develop components as well as machine special tooling and cutting accessories for surgeons".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Cincinnati Machine
concerning its FTV 840/1800 machining centre
- take a look at VMC reduces valve part machining time by 40%
which says: "Valve manufacturer reports that its latest vertical machining centre has machined a valve with 4,813 x 3mm diameter holes 40% quicker compared to the previous machine used for the task".
Take a look also at the news release from Kitagawa Europe, Compact bar feeder fits restricted spaces,
as well as CNC automatic lathe rolls serrations too from LMT Fette,
and FMS machines titanium components from 600 Centre.
