PLANT EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES
While machine tools represent the core of production machining businesses, it is also beneficial to have other processes in-house, such as anodizing, passivation, deburring, part marking and heat treatment.

FAQ: Plant Equipment & Supplies
What coolant practices are best for titanium?
For titanium, coolant needs to be delivered in large volume and ideally at high pressure as close to the cutting edge as possible. Coolant delivered at 80 bar or higher is recommended to drive a wedge between the rake face of the cutting tool and the chip to further reduce heat transfer and abrasive wear. High-pressure or ultra-high-pressure coolant also enables increasing cutting speeds, thereby improving productivity. Inadequate coolant delivery will greatly reduce tool life. Consult with a coolant supplier to discuss what coolant would be best for your setup.
How do I control coolant mist?
A coolant health and safety concern is the amount of oil mist created by high pressure coolant that permeates the air and coats floors and other surfaces within the manufacturing facility. Mist collectors are designed to remove oil mist from the machine and return the liquid to the coolant sump, thus providing a healthier environment and reducing coolant costs. LNS Fox has units with a three-stage mechanical filtering system and an optional HEPA module to remove smoke.
How do I reduce energy costs in my facility/shop/plant?
As energy costs increase, making efficient use of kilowatts is more important than ever. European firms have long known this, as energy costs are much higher in Europe than in North America. Although some retrofitting of older equipment may be helpful, newer equipment is designed and built to use less energy than machines put in service only 5 years ago.
Motors, drives, controls and machine design improvements each can save operating cost, reducing overhead. Some of these advancements are reviewed in our “Using Energy Efficiently Can Boost Profitability” article.
