CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer
Numeric Control (CNC) machining is when the functions and motions
of a machine are controlled by an automated program. CNC is
beneficial in machining and grinding operations because of its high
accuracy, short production time, and greater flexibility. It
can be used for multiple types of metals, but requires a
metalworking fluid that provides a high degree of
lubricity.
When Bahrat Electronics Limited (BEL) -- a state-owned
electronics company manufacturing advanced electronic products for
the Indian Armed Forces -- was experiencing problems with
their metalworking fluid performance, tool life, hazardous waste
generation and coolant odor in their CNC machining center, they
turned to Quaker Chemical experts for help.
After analyzing the situation which involved the machining of
brass parts, Quaker recommended switching to QUAKERCOOL®
3890 -- a metalworking fluid designed for non-ferrous,
medium-to-heavy duty machining and grinding operations requiring a
high degree of lubricity, cleanliness, cooling, and corrosion
protection -- for all CNC machining operations. The change to
QUAKERCOOL® 3890 offered improvements from day one, including
increased tool life, reduction in hazardous waste generation and
elimination of bad odors. BEL continues to experience these
positive results 24 months later, with no change out of
product -- providing additional cost savings in process fluid
purchases.
"Since the changeover to QUAKERCOOL® 3890," said Kubera Naik B
V., Manager/ CFF at Bharat Electronics Bangalore site, "we have
experienced elimination of bad odors, which had been a major
problem, and increased sump life while maintaining tool life,
finish, and operator friendliness."
As additional support, Quaker's technical experts provided
on-site training related to metalworking fluids, to share best
practices in coolant management and help the customer better
understand the subject matter.
"We are very happy with the day-to-day service, the prompt
technical support, and efforts being extended to ensure total
customer satisfaction from Quaker," comments Mr. Naik.
