Cutting fluid reduces aluminium machining downtime
Specially formulated for machining aluminium, a cutting fluid has helped a leading automotive component manufacturer reduce downtime, improve tool life and save on coolant costs.
Says a delighted Gary Robb, Servoll Managing Director: "Besides overcoming a number of coolant related problems to win the contract, we provide Montupet with 48-hour delivery, an on-site presence on demand and a sample analysis service." He adds that the combination of high levels of service from Servoll, and excellent product performance from Castrol has also been instrumental in moving Montupet to a single source supply for all its lubricants.
Commenting on the background to the Award, Montupet Production Engineer Andy Chambers say: "High magnesium levels in our process caused the product we were using to break down.
The swarf floated on the top of the tank and tool life was not good.
"Servoll and Castrol reviewed the situation, recommended a new product and the problem was over! Surface tension decreased, swarf sank and some of my tool life was increased by 40%.".
