High Pressure Cooling

Goals:
Increase Tool Life
Increase Cutting Parameters
Better Chip Formation
Intensive Cooling of tool and workpiece

Applkication Area:
Machining of materials with difficult cutting behavior


What is High Pressure Cooling

Effectiveness:
High Pressure Coolant flow between chip and tool
ÖPressure approx. 100 – 400 bar
ÖDue to high pressure the coolant gets closer to the tool
center point
ÖReduction of tool wear due to better friction behavior
ÖBetter cooling of tool and up to 50% lower temperature in
contact zone Span

Ö Better chip breakage and chip formation

Our Solution – MAG Cryogenic Technology

ƒ MAG Cryogenic Technology uses small flow rates of liquid nitrogen
(LN2) applied near the cutting edge (directly and indirectly) to maximize the
cooling effectiveness (~0.04 to 0.08 L/min/cutting edge)
ƒ MAG has licensed the Intellectual Property of cryogenic machining
ƒ Cryogenic processing replaces traditional cutting fluids with more
environmentally friendly cryogenic fluid that enables higher cutting speeds:
ƒ Environmental, Health & Safety Advantages:
– Nitrogen is an inert atmospheric gas which is
78% of the air we breath
– Very easily safeguarded with an Oxygen sensor
– LN2 is a non Greenhouse gas
– Safe non slip coolant system for large
walk-on machine t bl
lk hi tables
– Contamination free for Medical
machining requirements


Key Advantages – MAG Cryogenic Technology

ƒ Machining Performance
– 4X increase in processing speed for CGI
– 2-3X increase in processing speed for titanium
– 10X improvement in tool life for titanium 0.24 L/min of Liquid Nitrogen (ICS)
