FUCHS Unveils ECOCOOL GLOBAL 20
When it comes to improving tool life and performance, there are few things more important than lubrication.
Using specialist high-performance lubricants – and using them properly – has been proven to increase tool life by up to one-and-a-half times. Multiplied over many expensive tools, that can add up to a significant operational saving.
FUCHS Lubricants’ water-miscible cooling lubricants in the ECOCOOL range are exceptionally durable and economical in terms of consumption.
Thanks to their excellent lubricating properties, they achieve extremely high machining and cutting performance.
There are more than 10 products in the ECOCOOL range for a variety of functions.
FUCHS has unveiled a new member of the product family, ECOCOOL GLOBAL 20. A robust, patented FAD-FREE, globally-approved water miscible cutting and grinding fluid for automotive component manufacturers.
Alex Holmes, UK Industrial Product Manager, said: “Customers have reported up to 43% reduction in tooling costs when using the latest ECOCOOL ‘Global’ platform with existing tooling. Greater savings can be realised when tools are optimised for the process. In other studies, tool life increases of up to 150% have been recorded.
“In the FUCHS UK R&D laboratory, cutting speeds have been increased to provide real benefits in productivity whilst maintaining excellent tool life. The rate of metal removal can also be increased. Results have indicated a 16% increase in cutting speed is possible.
“ECOCOOL GLOBAL 20 is set to be the most innovative fluid yet to be introduced into the market.
“Our experts will be on hand to discuss this new OEM-approved product as well as our comprehensive range of metalworking process fluids and services.”
