IMTS 2014 - Quaker Introduces New Approaches to Coolants at IMTS
The QUAKERCOOL® 700 Series metal removal fluids are mineral oil free micro-emulsions.
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Aug. 27, 2014 -- The metalworking fluid industry is already playing an essential role in Resource-Efficient Manufacturing (REM) by providing smart, sustainable solutions towards resource efficiency. Quaker Chemical Corporation KWR, -0.12% a global leader in metalworking fluids, is putting sustainable chemistry into action by helping customers on issues of energy efficiency, waste reduction, safety, and durability through new approaches to coolant and cleaner use. This year at the IMTS show, Quaker Chemical will be introducing their high performance metal removal fluids, QUAKERCOOL® 700 Series and highlighting their eco-efficient dual phase technology, 2PAQâ„¢.
The QUAKERCOOL® 700 Series metal removal fluids are mineral oil free micro-emulsions. These products have been uniquely designed for exotic machining and grinding operations on titanium alloy, compacted graphite iron (CGI), stainless steels, and other high nickel-chrome alloys. In addition, they can also be used for critical surface finish machining of cast and wrought aluminum. Key benefits include superior tool life, excellent short-term corrosion protection, and a lower vapor pressure technology which results in an operator friendly environment.
In an aligned effort, Quaker has developed a new approach to coolants and cleaners which is known as 2PAQâ„¢. This dual phase technology is designed around a lubrication phase and alkaline phase which will perform a wide range of machining and grinding operations on cast iron, steel and aluminum alloys. The fluid, when used as a cleaner, can also be added to the coolant tanks for top-ups - therefore it is used twice. This approach can result in as much at 90% reduction in waste generation showing savings in water consumption, capital investments in wastewater treatment equipment, and energy and wastewater treatment costs.
Quaker will be showcasing their new approaches to their high performance machining and grinding coolant technology along with the Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing Indy Car, and also have appearances from the teams driver Josef Newgarden at the International Manufacturing Technology show on September 8-13, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois - Booth W2049.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
