Metal cutting applications typically use a coolant (emulsion or oil) to lubricate and cool the cutting point. Better cooling of the cutting-edge leads to superior surface quality and longer cutting tool life.

Effective chip removal greatly improves the quality of the machining operation and contributes to longer tool life.

Machines have two pumps: first is the TSC (through spindle coolant) pump, which is very strong; high pressure and high flow rate. Second, is the side cooling pump, which is always small and weak; pressure normally < 4 bar, with low flow rate.

Aeroforce™ uses the existing side cooling pump, combines the coolant pressure with air pressure (1-2 bar) in a patented method, resulting in a very powerful flow of the coolant, which removes all chips from the cutting zone.

Chip removal from the cutting zone results in longer tool life, faster feed rates, and superior surface quality.

Aeroforce™ allows the air to move at high speeds in close proximity to the coolant, dramatically increasing the linear velocity of the liquid particles. Relatively high density and high velocity lead to high momentum (impact) of these particles when they meet the tip of the cutting tool.
