Semi-Synthetic Metal Removal Fluid Platform for Machining and Grinding Booth 1216 Houghton International launched a semi-synthetic metal removal fluid platform based on a new technology for machining and grind- ing that provides performance and environmental benefits. Hocut 4440 delivers a cutting edge metalworking fluid for automotive, general machining and grinding applications. The company's new platform can be low foaming in softer waters, giving high emulsion stability and clean-running in harder waters. It is easy to use and maintain with high detergency and dis- pensability, high corrosion protection for both parts and machine tool and biostability. This results in a low total cost of operation. This new platform is free of boron, formaldehyde-releasing agents, secondary amines, chlorine, phenols and nitrites. Hocut 4440 is formulated for use on ferrous metals such as cast iron, ductile iron and steels. Extensive field testing has also shown the fluid to provide excellent cooling for titanium grinding operations, the company says. :: Houghton Intl. 610-666-4000, houghtonintl.com Shaft Unloading Via Second Lathe Spindle Booth 573 Lexair Inc., North American importer for German lathe automa- tion provider, Breuning Irco, offers expanded capabilities to enable fast part and shaft unloading via a CNC lathe's second spindle. Two distinct versions are available: the ILS version is designed to gently unload spindle-length finished parts onto either an incline surface or index conveyor. Maximum diameter for ILS unloading is 4" and the maximum length is 66". The company will also be featuring the SiMag ERV unloader, which unloads parts and shafts that exceed the length of the lathe's second spindle. :: Lexair/ Production Dynamics 859-255-5001, lexairinc.com Slip-Proof Mini Clamping Nut Booth 472 The Rego-Fix intRlox MX Mini Nut system for Swiss automatic machine tool applications has an anti-slip locking design that is engineered to prevent the locking wrench from slipping off the nut during assembly and disassembly. Milled slots on the OD of the nut mate with corresponding fea- tures of the wrench to prevent slippage during the tightening and loosening processes. Benefits include improved operator safety and prevention of damage to other tools. The intRlox design in- cludes a special surface treatment to enhance clamping forces and extend the life of the nut by protecting against corrosion. The intRlox can replace any brand of older-style mini nuts. It is currently available in ER 11, 16 and 20 sizes in standard versions and ER 16 and 20 for coolant versions. :: Rego-Fix Tool Corp. 800-999-7346, rego-fix.com O-Rings, Seals, Gaskets and Sealing Devices Booth 1120 North Coast Seal is an OEM fulfillment center with expertise in elastomeric and all types of sealing products.
