Very neat

At EMO Milan, ExxonMobil unveiled Mobilgrind – a new series of technologically advanced neat cutting and grinding oils.

The new oils are designed to improve machining in high speed automated machining centres through enhanced equipment lubrication, increasing productivity and delivering optimum performance.

The new line is being launched to complement ExxonMobil's existing range of Mobilmet cutting oils. Specifically designed to meet the increasing demands of today's highly automated machining centres, tooling trends and health and safety regulations, the Mobilgrind oils have been developed for high speed grinding applications where excellent surface finish, high precision machining and improved productivity are the primary objectives. They can be used with conventional and CBN grinding wheels.

The use of lower viscosity formulations helps to improve machining performance through enhanced penetration at the wheel/component interface and to keep grinding wheel clean. The lower viscosity also helps to reduce metal fines and particulates in the oil and aids filtration and drainage from components, machine and swarf to keep consumption levels as low as possible.

“For many decades, premium quality Mobilmet cutting oils have been an essential part of the production strategies employed by successful metalworking companies around the world in their drive for continuous improvement,” says Peter Bird, industrial lubricants marketing, Europe, Africa, Middle East, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties. “With the introduction of the new high performance Mobilgrind oils, we look forward to helping engineering professionals improve component quality and maximise productivity – particularly in the grinding shop. This can translate to reduced tool wear and regrinding and potentially to lower costs.”

The new Mobilgrind series products have been carefully designed to work with premium Mobil hydraulic and slideway oils, including the new Mobil DTE 10 Excel hydraulic oil and the new formulation Mobil Vactra Oil. By eliminating the problems associated with cross contamination of different lubricants within the machine tool, the innovative lubrication package on offer is said to provide benefits of extended fluid lifetime, lower maintenance costs and an improved working environment.
