Oelheld Returns to MACH With New Product Lines

Making its return to MACH after a 10 year absence, Oelheld, the specialists in metalworking fluids, water-soluble lubricants and filtration and extraction systems will introduce a host of new product lines to MACH 2018 visitors.

Specialists in the provision of high-end oils for grinding and EDM processes, Oelheld will be keen to introduce its latest generation of high-performance SintoGrind grinding fluids. The latest generation of Oelheld’s SintoGrind series is the new GTL (Gas to Oil) base oil. This revolutionary refining process converts natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons. Converting methane-rich gases into liquid synthetic fuels significantly improves performance, stability, longevity and surface finishes whilst removing hazardous elements and reducing grinding wheel wear.

Among the new GTL range to be introduced at MACH 2018 will be the SintoGrind TC-X 630 oil for grinding centres. This product has been specified for tool production and in particular flute and profile grinding and external an internal diameter grinding. Complementing the TC-X 630 at MACH is the new SintoGrind IG 540 that is suitable for manufacturers processing tungsten carbide, HSS, PCD, CBN, cermet and ceramic materials. This new flagship products have been formulated for demanding grinding operations that undertake extreme feed and speed rates. The lubricity of the SintoGrind IG 540 extends grinding wheel life and minimises heat generation, which eliminates surface cracks and burns.

Alongside these exciting new brands to make their debut at MACH will be the ToolGrind TC-X 620. Based on additive technology, the TC-X 620 is formulated with highly refined base oils that demonstrate astounding viscosity and temperature characteristics with a low aromatic content and misting. Capable of performing under extreme pressure, the ToolGrind TC-X 620 guarantees favourable cooling and lubrication whilst containing no chlorine, silicone or heavy metals.

Complementing these innovative and environmentally friendly fluids at MACH will be established fluids such as the SintoGrind TTK that has proven itself as an industry leader in tool grinding applications on tungsten carbide, HSS, steel, PCD, CBN, cermets and ceramics. The constituents of this marquee brand also make it an industry leader for grinding components in the aerospace, medical and wear part sectors.

This mainstay of the Oelheld family will be accompanied by the SintoGrind SI. This fully synthetic high-tech product has been manufactured with Poly-Alpha-Olefins for the grinding of glass and technical ceramics. From a productivity and cost perspective, Sintogrind guarantees faster machining with less tool wear as it has been designed in conjunction with machine tool manufacturers to reduce foaming and filtration problems.

MACH 2018 will also be the UK launch-pad for the new Indusa air filtration, oil mist and dust extraction brand. Making its UK premiere at MACH, the Indusa line-up includes the Elstar electrostatic separator range, the Mestar mechanical air filter series, the Dustar dust filtration units and the Vlitec media filters. In addition, the high-quality Indusa range incorporates centralised exhaust air and filter concepts, the Contral plant control system, cyclone separators, suction collectors and exhaust collectors as well as a variety of pre-filters, electrostatic precipitators, fans and silencers.

Complementing the Indusa range on the Oelheld stand will be the Vomat FA240 fully integrated filtration and cooling system for fluid management. The compact stand-alone 1600 by 1000 by 1200mm unit has a 13kw cooling performance and a filtration rate of 240litres per minute. Ensuring fully automatic collection of recyclable material with residual moisture of less than 5% to 10% and a filtration grade of 3 to 5μm, the Vomat FA240 provides user friendly waste disposal and efficiency.

With comprehensive fluid and filtration solutions for machine tool, grinding and EDM users, Oelheld will also be demonstrating the Hirschmann tooling and workholding range at MACH 2018. At MACH, Oelheld will introduce the Hirschmann 4000 and 9000 series of fixturing systems for component clamping on wire electrical discharge machines.

The rust-resistant 4000 Series is ideal for workpiece weights up to 150kg and it guarantees consistently repetitive accuracy of 0.002mm. Fast, efficient, user friendly workpiece clamping is assured as is the uncompromising precision and repeatability accuracy. Alongside the 4000 Series at MACH 2018 will be the modular zero-point 9000 fixturing series for pallets workpieces and fixtures. The 9000 Series enables customers to equip machine tools with single or multiple-point clamping with workpiece or pallet clamping fixtures that will maximise productivity and minimise changeovers and downtime.

Continuing the theme of high precision workholding, Oelheld will also introduce the Hirschmann range of rotary axis indexing tables at MACH. The stainless steel rotary tables demonstrate pin-point precision with a repeat accuracy of +/- 1second and a positional accuracy of +/-2seconds. This uncompromising precision level is complemented by a 30rpm rotational speed, faceplate diameters from 80 to 800mm and BT, SK, CAT and HSK machine tapers that combine to demonstrate remarkable flexibility.  Completely sealed (IP68) for use on Wire or Sinking EDM, the Hirschmann brand demonstrates uncompromising levels of quality, precision and innovation.
