3 Ways to Help Optimize CNC Machine Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Today\u2019s CNC machines are more capable than ever with increased spindle speeds, sophisticated programming options and built-in automation features. Thus, manufacturers can produce high-quality parts and products faster and more profitably.<\/p>\n

However, successfully harnessing the potential of these advanced CNC machines requires equally capable peripherals. LNS meets this need with bar feeders, chip and coolant management systems, work holding, and air filtration equipment. By working together through all phases of the machining process, LNS peripherals significantly improve throughput and productivity.<\/p>\n

One example of this interaction involves the heart of the machining process: Cutting\/milling\/drilling operations. In addition to optimal part programing and using appropriate tooling for the material being machined, it\u2019s essential to maximize tool and coolant life while efficiently evacuating chips to prevent backups and workpiece damage. LNS high-pressure coolant systems, filtering chip conveyors, cyclone filters and sludge tanks accomplish these goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top-right” top_margin=”0″ column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

Here\u2019s how:\"\"<\/h3>\n

Coolant, Alone, is not Enough.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

We all know metal cutting produces exceptional heat that can distort and damage workpieces and tooling. Approximately 97% of the energy created by cutting, drilling, or milling metals converts to heat. That\u2019s why metalworkers apply various coolants to reduce cutting zone temperatures. However, coolant must be used at the correct pressure and flow rate to maintain consistent temperature and lubrication, optimize tool life and allow consistently precise metal cutting.<\/p>\n

Often, machine tools flood coolant onto the workpiece at low pressures, which can be counter-productive, as the intense heat within the cutting area causes the coolant to vaporize on contact. Flowing coolant at 1,000 PSI or greater into the machining area increases localized pressure to eliminate this problem, thus effectively reducing workpiece and cutting tool temperatures. High-pressure coolant also keeps chips at a cooler temperature so they break apart easily into smaller pieces for faster evacuation.<\/p>\n

Therefore, correctly applying high-pressure coolant increases throughput by enabling machine tools to cut material more efficiently, reduce time spent changing tools, keep chips out of the way to prevent recutting and workpiece damage, and allow optimum spindle speeds.<\/p>\n

Because every application has unique properties, various LNS Chipblaster high-pressure systems<\/a> provide fixed and variable rate coolant delivery to match your specific requirements; fixed-rate systems are typically adequate for production using the same or similar types of material. For greater versatility in using materials and parts programming, an automatic, variable volume high-pressure coolant system allows the user to dial in the precise volume and pressure for virtually any machining application.<\/p>\n
