Precision Machining
In the past century machining has witnessed an increasing demand for faster cutting, better finishes and longer tool life, all while machining more demanding materials. However, these demands are often at odds with one another; faster machining can greatly increase cut temperatures which leads to tool degradation and poor finish, and the need for finishing passes to improve dimensional tolerance and surface finish adds time to production. To accommodate these demands, manufacturing technology has developed advancements in machine tools, machine controls, processing materials, coolant-lubricant chemistries, and cutting tools. These advancements all address areas where improvement was needed. However they generally do not address the underlying need to make a machining process cut faster while generating better surface finish with a longer tool life. It is believed that advancements to cooling-lubrication technology could augment new machining technology and allow more aggressive machining of harder and more abrasive materials. Recently, a new cooling-lubrication technology has been introduced called CO2 Machining. CO2 machining has been developed to address the demands of hard machining and to enhance the economics of advanced cutting tool technology such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride (CBN).
