Efficient Operation With High-Pressure Coolant

Manufacturers spend millions of dollars on liquid coolants each year to help machine tools cut metal more efficiently. In many cases, however, the effect of this coolant could be greatly enhanced—in some applications by 100 percent or more—by using a high-pressure coolant delivery system.

Synthetic Coolant Shines In Shop-Wide Applications

TNS Machining (Muskego, Wisconsin) is both a prototype and production machining job shop. After working in the machining industry for many years, Thomas Rowinski, Jr. and his sons started this business in 1981 because they wanted to provide customers with specialized precision machined parts.

This Filtration System Takes The Cake

For chip removal and coolant filtration in many CNC machining operations, capital cost and proven efficiency still make disposable media designs the common choice. Permanent media chip removal and coolant filtration systems, however, have quickly become a viable option for helping to lower operating and maintenance costs in certain applications. In high-production operations, these systems can increase tooling life and coolant life and reduce nozzle clogging. The systems also are environmentally beneficial and provide cost savings related to media replacement and operator involvement.

Coolant Filter Requires No Replaceable Elements

This coolant filter back flushes the trapped particles away from the permanent filtering element to restore its effectiveness. The operating principle is similar to a backyard swimming pool.

Coolant-Through Turning Toolholders Deliver Increased Performance And Tool Life

It should be obvious to anyone who has ever washed a driveway or patio with a garden hose: For the best results, you must keep the stream of water precisely where it's needed. The same principle applies to delivering coolant to the cutting zone.

Pump/Filter Unit Eliminates Sump Clogging Problems

Because of the volume of relatively small parts running steadily in the machine, one shop's concentration of small chips and fines in the oil increased rapidly. To address the problem, the company purchased a pump/filter unit.
