Cutting oils' low evaporation, lessen
fire risk
'Low-evaporation' cutting oils that significantly reduce emissions and fire hazards in the field of metalworking are used in truck crankshaft machining.
The lubricant specialist Fuchs developed 'low-evaporation' cutting oils, which significantly reduce emissions and fire hazards in the field of metalworking The low-emission Ecocut LE Series cutting oils from Fuchs meet the requirements of the European Standard EN 13478 'Fire Prevention in Machinery', which was revised and has been in force since early 2005

Chlorine-free grinding oil reduces misting
A bright, skin-compatible, chlorine-free and low-viscosity grinding oil is based on specially selected lowaromatic hydrocarbons and fulfils the requirements of DIN 31007 and EN 13478.
The machining of metals with neat cutting oils can cause fires and explosions.
The Frankfurt-based grinding machine manufacturer Naxos-Union recommends Ecocut LE Series grinding oils, but not only for fire and explosion prevention reasons.
These products make an important contribution to exploiting the full potential of CBN grinding wheels.
Complex grinding operations on truck engine crankshafts with CBN grinding wheels is a speciality of Naxos-Union, which belongs to the EMAG group.
The use of high-tech grinding wheels offer outstanding machining performance which, in turn, significantly increases productivity.
The company uses neat oils as grinding and cutting fluids.
Naxos Union delivers its systems to customers throughout the world; just one reason why the company has cooperated with the globally-active lubricant specialist Fuchs.
Among the highly sophisticated operations performed on truck engine crankshafts with CBN grinding wheels are the grinding of journal bearing surfaces along with their corresponding shoulders and radii.
These operations make high demands on the grinding oil.
Naxos-Union therefore selected Fuchs Ecocut LE grinding oils.
The cutting fluid not only allows the optimum utilization of grinding wheels but also significantly increases wheel life which are very highly stressed in the area of shoulders and radii.
