The selection of the series is made by measuring the outer diameter of the cooling pipes in the machine. Generally, in most machines it is recommended to use series 06 and 09. More information can be found in Tech Info.
Our nozzles (patent pending) combine air velocity with the mass of the coolant (oil or emulsion) and produce a very beneficial cooling and chip removal effect.
The improvement will be in the number of parts that can be manufactured with the same cutting tool. Significant improvement in cooling capabilities and chip removal quality may significantly improve the performance of the cutting tool.
In addition, productivity can be improved by increasing feed-rate thus significantly shortening processing times.
It is difficult to accurately estimate the return on investment since each end user assembles the system according to the machine in his possession.
But since the cost of the system is not high and the improvement in performance and outputs is impressive, the return on investment will usually be very short, a matter of several weeks.
The distance between the nozzle and the working point (nozzle position) varies depending on the geometric constraints in the machine, pressure and flow.
The nozzle should be positioned so as not to interfere with the machining process, but close enough to produce the required effect.
As a rule of thumb, we recommend a distance not exceeding 100 – 150 mm (4” – 6”).
The function of the valve is to turn ON and OFF the air pressure according to the application of the hydraulic pressure. If we apply the air pressure without the liquid, an unwanted emulsion (or oil) cloud will be formed.
Sometimes better results can be obtained when the liquid flows from the center and the air around it. Can be replaced provided the fluid pressure does not exceed 8 bar so as not to damage the pneumatic piping.
In terms of system performance, it does not matter at all. The air can be used as it is in the system.
The type of emulsion (or oil) greatly affects the cutting results. But there are several criteria in choosing the coolant, including the type of material and of course the price. The system knows how to work with all types of emulsions and oils common in the market.
By definition, the higher the liquid pressure (emulsion or oil) and the lower the temperature we will get better performance.
