Machine Tool Cooling Pumps

Metalworking processes require high coolant pressures to maximise tool life, increase accuracy and reduce component cycle times. Applications for which Cat Pumps are used include: 

• Through-tool coolant and lubricants in deep bore and gun drilling
• High velocity coolant at the tool tip for chip breaking
• Grinding wheel scrubbing to minimise clogging
• DI water for EDM (spark erosion) processes.

There are numerous advantages to using high-pressure coolant systems over conventional coolant applications. With high-pressure machine tool coolant flushing, coolant is run through the cutting bit and discharged right to the cutting surface. High-pressure systems save money with tooling lasting longer and speeds being increased. The heat transfer on high-pressure systems is significantly improved, because with coolant applied at the cutting surface, heat transfer is maximized. With better heat transfer, tighter tolerances can be held keeping product consistency. High-pressure coolant applied through the cutting bit will have the liquid flowing away from the cutting surface therefore allowing improved chip flushing. CNC machines depend on Cat Pumps for dependable high-pressure coolant pumps.

With field-proven dependability in applications around the globe, Cat Pumps provides the best value for machine tool coolant flushing systems.
