The customer complained about strong lubricoolant turbulence in the working area which led to a high lubricoolant discharge (oil). After an audit, a Grindaix nozzle arrangement was installed, which included a new pressure supply. It was possible to reduce the energy costs and lubricoolant requirement costs. The significant saving alongside the initially unintended process improvement lay in reducing a lubricoolant delay (€18,000 per year).
The tool life of the dressing tools used from Dr Kaiser, combined with grindaix’s lubricoolant nozzles, increased very significantly in comparison with the original equipment from Reishauer. Following the retrofit, the customer’s return on investment was already achieved within only a few weeks.
* This is an exemplary application. This optimization is application-specific and not necessarily transferable to all machines of this type.
Procedure for a Retrofit Package
1 Coolant Audit
Analysis of machine(s) on site (approx. 5 h per machine) during productive operation. Analysis of pipework in machine room - machine offline just 1 hour. Determination of savings and optimisation potential.
2 Engineering / Composition of Retrofit Kit
Presentation of your current lubricoolant situation, incl. potentials (€/kWh/[l/min]), technical recommendation of retrofit measures and parts list.
3 Retrofit
Installation of grindaix retrofit kit into your machine tool incl. all mechanical/mechatronic work CE conformity, documentation amendments, liability.
4 Commisioning
Test of possible improvements with regard to productivity (cycle time), tool life, energy consumption, lubricoolant savings (verification).
