What are MP systems?

MP Systems designs and manufactures rugged, dependable high pressure coolant systems, chillers, coolant filtration systems, and accessories for the machine tool world. Because we have a comprehensive understanding of the stress points in machining, our products minimize machine tool downtime and maximize tool life.

What is high pressure coolant system?

High pressure coolant (HPC) refers to pumping machine tool coolant at pressure exceeding 300 PSI. In general machining, this usually means 1,000 PSI. In some applications ultra high pressure coolant, or 3,000 PSI, is used. MP Systems’ High Pressure Coolant Systems cover this broad range of desired pressures.

How can I cool my CNC machine?

Compressed air is a solution that can eliminate any need for lubricant, thus dealing with disposal and variable cost issues. Using compressed air may very well be the most cost-efficient way of cooling a CNC machining process and rapidly clears chips.

Why do CNC machines spray water?

Basics of Machining Coolant Coolant, also known as cutting fluid, is a type of lubricant that aids a CNC machine to easily cut materials such as metals, fiberglass, and high-density plastics among others. When an operator uses the machine at low cutting speeds, the coolant helps to lubricate the cutting process.

What coolant is used in CNC machines?

Virtually all CNC machining centers and lathes today are designed to use water-based fluids, but most Swiss-style screw machines use straight oil. There are three categories of coolants that sometimes overlap: soluble oils, synthetic fluids and semisynthetic fluids.

Which cutting oil is used in automatic lathes?

Synthetic Oil It is generally recommended for heavy duty machining of carbon steels, stainless steels, and high temperature alloys, on automatic lathe, drilling, milling and boring operations. It can also be used in applications such as gear hobbing, gear shaping and broaching of ferrous metals.

Can CNC coolant make you sick?

Machining Coolant Can Cause Rashes and Dermatitis To be fair, even freshly mixed cutting fluids contain a host of chemical additives such as biocides, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, anti-foaming agents and more, any of which can cause skin irritation, rashes and dermatitis.

How do you choose cutting fluid?

The choice of cutting fluid depends on the material being machined and the types of machine being used….Cutting oil

  1. High demands on lubrication.
  2. High demands on surface finish.
  3. Hard-to-machine materials.
  4. “Maintenance free”

Can I use WD40 as cutting oil?

WD40 Cutting Oil prevents pitting and metal seizures, eases mechanical processing of metals, and reduces heat and damage caused by friction. You can expect an exceptional finish to your work, as well as protecting and prolonging the life of your equipment.
