Optimising coolant performance
How do engineering companies view the use of metalworking coolants? It's fair to say that in some cases these fluids are treated as the poor relation in the machining process, and at best are seen as a necessary evil.
New stainless coolant hose
The Hirt-Line range of stainless steel adjustable and lockable coolant hoses and nozzles has made a big impact since the product was initially launched according to Floyd Automatic.
Solving the problem of continually moving and frequently breaking coolant hoses, the Hirt-Line was introduced with two standard sizes and now a third hose has been added to the range.
With the working envelope of a machine tool being a hostile environment, the robust and corrosion resistant Hirt-Line is a useful addition to most machine tools. Primarily aimed at sliding head turning centres, Floyd has noted an increasing interest level from users of machining centres and larger turning centres which is why it has added the latest and largest addition to the hose line.
Initially, the segmental hoses were developed with a Type-1, 5.80mm outlet diameter nozzle and Type-2, 11mm diameter outlet nozzle. As these hose programs continue to grow in popularity, so does the demand from larger machine tool users. To this end, Floyd is now introducing the new, larger third version, the Type-3 hose that has an output nozzle of 19mm. This makes the corrosion resistant and rigid hoses available for bigger machine tools.
