What’s the True Cost of Clean Air?
You know the price of your ventilation or dust collection equipment, but do you really understand all of the ongoing expenses involved in maintaining indoor air quality for your shop? Time for a sanity check.
Portable Electric Dust Collector for Small Shops
The Dustmaster 6,000 cfm Electric Dust Collector from Marco uses a reverse incline blade fan matched with a 15 hp Baldor electric motor to remove airborne dust and debris from an enclosed work site so workers have better visibility to the work surface and can increase their production rates.
One Tool for All Applications
By selecting, removing, and returning bits at the touch of a button, the LiftUp 26one from Wiha holds 26 bits in one tool to save space, weight, and time.
Keeping Cool in the Heat of Change
Automotive suppliers are searching for new metalworking fluids to help them reduce their manufacturing costs and improve the processing of tough new metals and alloys under stricter environmental regulations. Here are some of the latest products for them to consider.
Improved Stamping Lubricant Performance Testing
IRMCO and Bennett Tool & Die have developed the iTOOL cup-draw process, a tool and test method to directly compare stamping lubricant performance prior to use in production.
Machining Stainless Steel, Brass, Inconel, Titanium, Aluminum and More
Regardless of tool speed or feed, GreenCut Cutting Fluid/Misting Fluid from LubeCorp is 100 percent effective in preventing metal-to-metal contact through full access to the seizure zone on the tool rake-face where the cutting action takes place.
Lubrication Using Functional Proteins
Novotec CL 800 from Gelita is an innovative raw material for oil-free cooling lubricants used to protect parts and tools against wear and overheating during turning, drilling, milling or grinding.
Water-Soluble, Semi-Synthetic Fluid for Broaching and Reaming
AquaTec OH 3557 from Oelheld is ideal for machining tough materials, such as cobalt, chromium alloys, titanium alloys, and stainless steel. Their DiaMill HEF 1100 high performance cutting oil is based on hydrocrack oils.
MQL Lubricant for Machining Aluminum
Coolube 2210AL from Unist provides specific benefits when machining aluminum, including exceptional lubricity and stability under load, which helps improve tool life.
Hybrid Fluid for Heavy-Duty Machining Of Aluminum, Stainless Steels, Titanium And Exotics
Cimperial 861 With InSol Technology from Cimcool is ideal for heavy-duty machining of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, including 6000 and 7000 series aluminum, stainless steels, titanium and other exotic alloys.
Breakthrough Fluids for Ferrous, Aluminum, Multi-Metal Machining
A new portfolio of metal removal fluids from Quaker Chemicals is ideal for automotive/heavy equipment applications and for shops that make parts with diverse metallurgies.
Automating the Factory Environment
Imagine whole-plant environmental automation data feeding smart control systems in your shop that respond in real time and learn over time to anticipate and respond to the needs of the humans in your shop – perhaps even better than the humans can. It’s time to start thinking about your environmental systems in a whole new way – or maybe stop thinking about them at all. After all, they’ll soon be able to take care of themselves.
