Coolant R&D Can Cut Tool Wear
According to Blaser Swisslube Inc. (Goshen, New York), choosing the right metalworking fluid for an application can have wide-ranging and positive effects on tool life, cycle time and workpiece quality.
Automated Monitoring of Coolant Results in Cleaner Machines
Sensors monitor and measure fluid concentration and temperature, two major factors impacting performance.
New EasySwitch HEPA Vac Simplifies the Process of Vacuuming Wet and Dry Materials
EXAIR’s new EasySwitch HEPA Wet-Dry Vac simplifies the filter change process when switching from vacuuming a dry material to a liquid or vice versa.
New No Drip Atomizing Nozzle Conserves Precious Liquids
Exair Corp.’s (Cincinnati, OH) new 1/8 NPT No Drip Siphon Fed Air Atomizing Spray Nozzles provide consistent and even flow of non-pressurized liquid for applications like marking, lubricating, rinsing, cooling, quenching, wetting (moistening), dust control, and humidification.
Digitalization Keeps Manufacturers’ Accountability Squeaky Clean
Ecoclean Connect cloud solution for parts cleaning processes ensures you’re meeting customers’ quality and traceability requirements. Defined data from the cleaning system’s control unit is encrypted and securely transmitted to the cloud.
Add the Latest Controls to Older-Model Grinding Machines
Owners who rebuild their Walter Helitronic Power machine can get the same speed, functionality, and ease of use as new models without the expense of buying a new machine with standard automation features.
48-Inch-Diameter Table Blaster
Viking Blast & Wash Systems adds the model 48T shot blaster to its industrial line of table blasters. Airless blast cleaning is accomplished via one 15-horsepower VMax center-fed blast wheel.
Modified Alcohol Ensures Process Stability In Metal Cleaning Applications
Safechem’s Dualene 1601 S is the first pre-stabilized, pure and virgin-grade modified alcohol developed for a wide range of metal cleaning applications. Results are comparable to Dow Chemical’s Dowclene 1601.
Multimetal-Safe Formula Cleans and Protects
Kyzen’s Metalnox M6314CP cleaner and corrosion inhibitor can be used in virtually any industrial cleaning system and process to remove manufacturing oils from machined and fabricated parts.
Four Spray Systems for Parts Cleaning
MAFAC machines from Jayco Cleaning Technologies can be programmed to rotate the basket with or against the spraying frame. Built-in oil separators and demisters eliminate the need for an external device and exhaust ducting.
Vacuum Washers for Parts Manufactured in Oil- or Water-Based Cutting Fluids
Gosiger’s Kleen Power (KP) KP.HMA machines remove contaminants from hard-to-reach, small-diameter tapped holes, blind holes and deep counter bores. The energy-efficient vacuum washers increase productivity by continually separating, cleaning, and reusing solvent.
Recyclable Packaging Film Prevents Corrosion and Discoloration
In multiple industry and OEM tests, Daubert Cromwell’s ClearPak 5000 earned the highest rating as a vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) for protecting aluminum, steel, and copper parts during storage and shipping.
