Hydra-Cell
Advantages
for High
Pressure
Machine Tool
Cooling: |
|
Speeds,
feeds and
efficiencies
can be
improved
with the use
of high
pressure
recycled
coolant.
Hydra-Cell
pumps have
been pumping
recycled
coolant
successfully
for many
years.
Hydra-Cell
pumps are
efficient
high
pressure
pumps which
are designed
to pump
fluids which
are
contaminated
by particles
from
machining.
Particles to
250 micron
in diameter
can be
easily
pumped with
Hydra-Cell
pumps,
eliminating
the expense
of fine
filtration
required by
other
positive
displacement,
centrifugal,
screw or
piston pumps.
Unlike these
other pumps,
Hydra-Cell
pumps do not
rely on the
fluid being
pumped to
provide
lubricant
between
surfaces
which ride
on each
other.
Therefore,
Hydra-Cell
pumps are
the ideal
pump for
pumping this
abrasive
recycled
fluid.

In high
speed
production
grinding,
coolant must
be pumped to
provide
cooling and
flushing of
the contact
area of the
grinding
wheel and
the work
piece. The
coolant must
be pumped at
a velocity
greater than
the speed of
the wheel to
penetrate
the vapor
barrier
created by
the
superheated
steam. Also,
high
pressure
coolant
should be
pumped onto
the surface
of the
grinding
wheel to
clean the
wheel and
improve
production.
The coolant
often
contains
particles of
the work
piece as
well as
particles
which have
been worked
free from
the grinding
wheel. Fine
filtration
for the
coolant is a
cumbersome
and
expensive
process.
Conventional
centrifugal,
screw or
piston pumps
have trouble
pumping this
recycled
fluid.

High
pressure
coolant in
mills and
machining
centers
provides
better
cooling,
increased
tool life,
reduced
friction,
and improved
surface
finishes.
High
pressure
coolant
removes
chips from
the work
process and
reduces the
problems
associated
with
recutting of
chips. High
pressure
coolant can
penetrate
the vapor
barrier
created when
traditional
coolant
systems
allow the
coolant to
boil at the
work area.
The only
practical
coolant
application
system
requires
recycling of
the coolant.
Unfortunately,
most
traditional
high
pressure
positive
displacement
pumps
require that
the coolant
being pumped
be filtered
down to less
than 5
micron. This
fine
filtration
is expensive,
cumbersome
and high
maintenance. |

Today, most
lathes can
greatly
increase the
metal
removal rate
with high
pressure
coolant.
High
pressure
coolant
reduces
thermal
shock and
the
premature
tool failure
that comes
from it. The
vapor
barrier
which forms
when coolant
boils from
the heat
generated
from the
tool and the
work piece,
can be
penetrated
with high
pressure.
The coolant
used in
these high
pressure
applications
can be
recycled,
however,
most
conventional
positive
displacement
high
pressure
coolant
pumps
require very
clean fluids,
thus
requiring
expensive
and
cumbersome
filtration. |

In deep hole
drilling,
coolant must
be pumped to
the end of
the drill in
order to
cool the bit,
flush the
chips,
reduce
deflection
of the tool
and maintain
tolerances.
The recycled
coolant
contains
many
particles
from the
drilling
process.
Filtering
the coolant
sufficiently
for most
other
centrifugal,
screw or
piston pumps
can be
expensive
and
cumbersome. |
