We would like to introduce a case study of improvements achieved through the introduction of the i-TOOL Nano Booster at a metal processing customer. In the metal processing factory, the deterioration of coolant fluid had been a challenge for some time, causing decay and the growth of bacteria that negatively affected the entire machine tool. The focus turned to the nano-bubble generator "i-TOOL Nano Booster." Initially introduced with skepticism on a 5-axis machine equipped with a multi-face pallet, this machine had a low operating rate, and coolant stagnation was noticeable, leading to the assumption that coolant decay was inevitable. However, one year after its introduction, monitoring by the coolant oil manufacturer Brother Switzerland Group Japan revealed the astonishing result that the coolant fluid had hardly deteriorated at all. Building on this success, additional installations were made on other equipment where coolant decay had occurred, and it has now been considered to standardize the installation of the Nano Booster on future equipment. <Improvement Effects of Nano Booster Introduction> - Prevention of coolant decay and reduction of unpleasant odors - Reduction of maintenance costs - Alleviation of the burden on operators, etc. For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a successful case study of the aluminum high-pressure coolant hose from Zero Seiko Co., Ltd. Zero Seiko, which produces precision parts related to aerospace, defense, and hydraulic equipment, discharges coolant liquid between the workpiece and the cutting tool when machining parts on a multi-axis lathe to suppress heat generated by cutting. Previously, they used bent copper piping fixed with cable ties, which had some play and was unstable. Although the pressure was not particularly high at 2 MPa, they struggled with the time required for adjustments because chips would fly and hit the piping, causing it to change direction. By using our product, the i-TOOL coolant hose, they were able to supply coolant liquid precisely and consistently for long periods without the hose shifting. The need for bending and adjusting the hose was eliminated, resulting in reduced work time and improved efficiency. *For detailed specifications, please download the PDF or feel free to consult us if you would like a demo unit.
