Its expertise, however, extends beyond watch manufacture, and includes television sets, office equipment, computers, and audio-visual equipment. The company's vertical integration has led also to the development of advanced production equipment. Among these are the highly precise, highly versatile Swiss-type turning centers known in the trade as CINCOM (CItizen Numerically COntrolled Machines). These machines are used extensively to manufacture an array of products, including medical instruments, electronics, fiber optics, automobiles, business machines, aerospace, defense, firearms, tools, valves, fasteners, and many others.

SpiderCool Near Dry Machining Nozzle
Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL, also referred to as Near Dry Machining) was highlighted in a recent Modern Machine Shop e-newsletter. The article gives an in-depth explanation as to what Near Dry Machining is and how, in some cases, it can be more beneficial than traditional approaches, which are wet machining with flood coolant or totally dry machining possibly using compressed air only. The article explains that in order to be effective MQL must be precisely aimed, within one millimeter. If the lubricant is not precisely aimed at the cutting edge of the tool, then the process simply becomes dry machining. MQL is not a new process, but automatic aiming of MQL fluid is. Manual aiming of MQL fluid on milling centers, with multiple tool changes, is not practical. To ensure that nozzle aim is accurate and reliable, Near Dry Machining on milling centers requires a SpiderCool programmable MQL nozzle.
You may be saying "sounds neat but we use strictly flood coolant." SpiderCool also offers a programmable flood coolant nozzle that can be retrofitted to any vertical or horizontal milling center.
To read the entire article, click on the picture above. If you are interested in purchasing a SpiderCool programmable coolant nozzle, please feel free to contact OptiPro by calling (585) 265-0160 or send emails to [email protected].
