Coolants & Lubrication Systems

OMAX Corp. has introduced a 100- hp direct-drive pump with EnduroMAX technology.

Zebra Skimmers is optimizing compressor condensate discharge performance by offering the f16ac system, combining features of a durable translucent barrel, spin welded fittings preventing leaks, permanent coalescing media that collects gravity separating oils, oil drain spigot automatic air release vent, automatic de-oiled water drain port and overflow protection.

Eriez HydroFlow industrial filtration and fluid recycling systems are optimally suited for a range of applications, including machining, conventional grinding, creep feed grinding and CBN grinding/machining.

Inauvate Work Solutions introduces a novel, chemical-free UV light bacteria sterilization system designed to extend the life of machine tool coolant.

In tool grinding all individual processing steps are part of a coherent value chain. Therefore, it is important that the filtration process of metal coolants is integrated seamlessly in this value chain. When operational requirements or technical improvements cause changes and flexibility is needed, the filtration system should meet those new needs. The filtration specialist Vomat meets these challenges with a line-up of high-tech systems.

PRAB Inc. introduces an exclusive new feature for monitoring and controlling coolant concentration in its Guardian Coolant Recycling System.

A coolant supplier having trouble getting customers to try a new product turned to Dr. Jeffrey Badger, the host of Cutting Tool Engineering's Grinding Doc Video Series, for some insight into how the supplier could convince shops to change coolant. About the Grinding Doc Video Series: Thanks to his work as an independent grinding consultant and the author of the "Ask the Grinding Doc" column in Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, Dr. Jeffrey Badger routinely receives questions about grinding from shops all over the world.

Monitoring metalworking fluids is a critical process in optimizing performance and extending fluid life. The necessity and methodology for analyzing fluids has remained virtually unchanged for years, yet there was still no way to easily record the data, share it with other departments or suppliers, and measure fluid concentration. Though new solutions enabled by digital technologies are emerging on the shop floor to help with tooling, machine tools or CAD/CAM services, this was not the case for monitoring metalworking fluid performance. Quaker Chemical Corp. recognized the need for innovation to help its customers monitor fluid performance. As a response, the Quaker team developed CoolanTool, a mobile app that addresses the needs of technicians that use metalworking fluids in their machining processes.
