FUCHS to launch cutting and grinding fluid
26/05/2020
FUCHS has unveiled a new member of the product family, Ecocool Global 1000, a globally approved water-miscible cutting and grinding fluid designed specially for the aerospace industry.On top of industry-leading products, FUCHS also offers quality monitoring services, thanks to the introduction of its innovative Fluids Live system.
Already utilised by more than 100 companies globally, many of which are based in the UK, Fluids Live is an easy-to-navigate web-based recording, tracking and reporting tool with integrated key performance indicator (KPI) measurements.
In short, the system can help unlock a maintenance strategy using real-time data, providing immediate and remote access to data and showcasing the current condition of fluids in use.
Within two hours of the collection of data under Fluids Live, information can be updated and production professionals will be able to make informed decisions on maintenance scheduling, production planning and other operational activities.
For an average production facility, lubricant purchases normally amount to only 3% of the maintenance budget but lubrication-related activities can influence an estimated 30% of total maintenance costs, highlighting how crucial this process can be. There are more than ten products in the Ecocool range for a variety of functions, achieving extremely high machining and cutting performance.
Fluids Live is constantly evolving, with recent innovations including the development of an application programming interface (API) to enable live measurements to be recorded on a customer’s data boards. Increasingly sophisticated recording procedures are also set to be introduced soon.
