Surface and edge grinding machines cleaned up
Cleaner machine tools, prolonged coolant life and lower operating costs are the three main benefits of switching to TRIM C270 synthetic coolant.
Coolant cleans up surface and edge grinding
Cleaner machine tools, prolonged coolant life and lower operating costs are three main benefits experienced by Stanley Tools since making the switch to TRIM C270 synthetic grinding coolant.
Those adopting this policy produce near-dry chips with increased value.
Components have less tendency towards built-up edge than with dry machining.
And from a health and safety point of view, fewer fluids on the shop floor equal a cleaner working environment.
To meet this need, Master Chemical Europe has added to its product programme, a dedicated range of minimal lubrication fluids.
The range includes TRIM TAP NC, a synthetic tapping compound, with built-in emulsifiers for applications where parts-cleaning is still desirable.
It is available in light, medium and heavy grades.
A new addition to this range is TRIM ML 55B, a low viscosity mixture of vegetable and mineral oils which is having good success in mainland Europe through the Master Chemical distributor network.
Master Chemical minimal lubrication fluids are designed to be mixed and dispersed through a stream of compressed air and the resultant mist applied externally or through-the-tool.
Under suitable circumstances, this method can replace flood coolant or those dry machining operations where built-up edge may occur.
A typical operating quantity of these TRIM fluids to produce components and chips that can be classified as dry, is 25ml per hour.
