Maintaining Optimum fluid performance
The main functions of a cutting fluid are to control heat and provide lubricity. It must also flush away the chips and protect the machines and workpieces from corrosion. When these functions are integrated into the machine tool an efficient metal removal system will result. It is therefore important that this fluid variable be properly selected, controlled and maintained in order to achieve optimum performance from the fluid.
When an effective management system is in place the fluctuation in the fluid variables such as correct fluid, correct concentration, pH and bacteria is reduced and more consistent quality parts can be produced.
Prolonging the life of the cutting fluid and optimizing its performance are very dependant on the control of the cutting fluid system. The control is as important as the selection of the fluid and includes maintenance of the mechanical components as well as the fluid. The problems that beset metalworking fluids in central systems applications are the same as those in individual machines.
Process Treatments wealth of experience and knowledge assists customers to produce a programme to accomplish control that include the following steps
Assign the responsibility for control
Clean the system thoroughly before charging with fresh mix
Maintain the concentration of the cutting fluid at the dilution recommended for the operation
Keep the metalworking fluid free from Chip and grit
Aerate the metalworking fluid by keeping it circulated
Provide chip flushing
Employ good house keeping practices
Process Treatments also offers field support packages which include:
Service calls
Good housekeeping training
Training Manuals
Technical advice over the telephone
