Fundamentals of Refrigerant in machining and monitoring in Machining 4.0

The nugget gives an overview of industrial tests which can be carried out to ascertain the best cutting fluid to be used on a certain combination of tool steel and workpiece material thus increasing temperature dissipation and tool life. A real application example is provided in order to give better insight into the process and provide real world numbers in order to solidify user confidence in the approach. Lastly, a state-of-the-art remote management tool is presented which allows the user to remotely and predictively maintain cutting fluid stability to increase performance.
