A “must-have” for automated manufacturing processes. Workpieces and fixtures can be cleaned with coolant using the supply through the spindle. Clean•Tec is stored just like a common tool in the tool magazine and selected automatically via CNC program. Quick and easy cleaning of workpieces, fixtures and machine tool tables. No chips or coolant outside the machine tool. Saves on expensive compressed air.

- computer numerical control ( CNC)
computer numerical control ( CNC)
Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
