EXTEND TOOL LIFE & REDUCE REFILL VOLUME WITH HWU LUBTEC

Practical example Mabanol Cut Lub 14 CF

EXTENDING TOOL LIFE WITH MABANOL CUT LUB 14 CF

The cutting oil Mabanol Cut Lub 14 CF not only has excellent flushing behaviour, but also the potential to extend tool life. In our practical example at a manufacturer of fasteners, switching to the high-performance cutting oil extended tool life by up to 33% and reduced the top-up amount by 15%.

Customer testimonial metalworking

This testimonial is based on the experience of a single customer. The actual results achieved may depend on the type of machine used and its maintenance, operating and ambient conditions and the lubricant previously used.

Initial situation

In a metalworking company, high-alloy steels (70%) and non-ferrous metals (30%) are turned and tapped on 20 DMG and Index sliding headstock automatic lathes. The stainless steel is machined with a 7% additive cutting oil of ISO VG 17, the non-ferrous metals with a 2% additive cutting oil of ISO VG 25. The company is looking for ways to extend tool life and reduce set-up times.

Recommendation

Our lubricant expert has recommended the use of the high-performance cutting oil Mabanol Cut Lub 14 CF with a maximum additive content of 20% for stainless steel cutting in order to improve cutting performance and thus reduce set-up times. Furthermore, the use of a lower viscosity should improve the flushing capacity and reduce the drag-out of cutting oil.

The use of Mabanol Cut Lub 22 is also intended to reduce the top-up amount used in non-ferrous metal cutting.

Field trial

The parameters when using Mabanol Cut Lub 14 CF are recorded in a field test under comparable conditions and compared with the data of the competitor product. According to tool life monitoring, the use of Mabanol Cut Lub 14 CF in stainless steel machining results in an increase in tool life of 30-33%. This not only saves tool costs but also significantly reduces set-up times. The improved rinsing behaviour results in a 15% reduction in the top-up amount. In addition, less foaming can be observed. The lower residual moisture content of the chips after the centrifuge demonstrably reduces disposal costs. These savings therefore contribute to increased productivity throughout the entire manufacturing process.
