Magnetic device saves costs for broaching

Magnetic filtration device absorbs small metal fines produced by broaching from the coolant line to save broach tool wear, prevent contamination and avoid frequent machine shutdowns.

North American Magnom Distributor, Universal Separators helped a powertrain manufacturer in Rockford, IL to install a 5in HT Magnom in the coolant line in a broaching operation.

The broaching tools were generally covered with contamination prior to the Magnom installation.

Once installed the Magnom captured this harmful debris.

The small metal fines produced by the machining processes collect in the machine coolant.

As the coolant absorbs the contaminants, these fines begin to act as a lapping compound, abrading the machine tool.

This leads to shorter tool life, more frequent machine shut downs for tool sharpening and a loss of precision machining accuracy.

The Magnom has proven to be an effective and highly cost effective way to remove very small, highly damaging contaminants that cannot be removed by any other method.
