COOLING SYSTEM FOR ROTATING CUTTING TOOLS
A rotary tool includes a shank, cutting portion, coolant inlet, coolant outlet, and channel system. The cutting portion is connected to and extends from the shank. The cutting portion includes a cutting edge. The coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are disposed in the shank. The channel system is contained in the rotary tool and is a closed circulation loop system such that the coolant is contained within the channel system as the coolant is circulated within the rotary tool. The channel system includes a delivery path and a return path. The delivery path is fluidly connected to the coolant inlet and includes a shape corresponding to a shape of the cutting edge. The return path is fluidly connected to the coolant outlet and to the delivery path at a location in the cutting portion of the rotary tool.
Material support systems, material support structures, and related methods
A core support system includes a support structure. The support structure includes a frame and a support member having a saturatable engagement layer disposed over the frame. A method of machining a core material incudes applying a fluid to an engagement layer of a support structure and saturating the engagement layer with the fluid, disposing a core material on the engagement layer, causing the fluid to freeze to secure to the core material to the support structure, machining the core material, melting the frozen fluid to release the core material from the support structure, and removing the core material from the engagement layer.
MECHANICALLY PUMPED SYSTEM FOR DIRECT CONTROL OF TWO-PHASE ISOTHERMAL EVAPORATION
A thermal system may comprise a reservoir, a first fluid flowpath, and a second fluid flowpath. The first fluid flowpath may start at the reservoir and return to the reservoir. The first fluid flowpath may comprise, in a direction of the fluid flow, a first side of a sub-cooler, a liquid pump, a first side of a pre-heater, and a first side of an evaporator. The second fluid flowpath may start at the reservoir and return to the reservoir. The second fluid flowpath may comprise, in a direction of a fluid flow, a pressure regulator, a vapor compressor, a first side of a condenser, and an expansion value.

A liquid-cooling termination structure having temperature sensing function is disposed on a liquid-cooling system which is used for performing a heat dissipating operation to a heat source of equipment. The liquid-cooling termination structure includes a water cooling head and a temperature sensing unit. The water cooling head is formed with an adhering surface used for being adhered on the heat source. The temperature sensing unit includes a sensing terminal, and a signal transferring cable extended from the sensing terminal. The sensing terminal is combined with the water cooling head from the exterior of the water cooling head, and the signal transferring cable is connected to the equipment for obtaining the temperature of the heat source through the water cooling head.
Machining thermostatic control system and method of using the same
A machining thermostatic control system and method of using the same are disclosed. The system comprises a detecting unit, a processing unit and at least a cooling unit. The detecting unit is used for detecting the temperature distribution of a workpiece. The processing unit is coupled to the detecting unit and is used for processing the temperature distribution for obtaining a position of maximum hot spot of the workpiece. The cooling unit comprises a head which is provided for discharging cooling fluid and a plurality of blades which are angle-adjustably mounted to the head. The blades are coupled to the processing unit and the angle of blades are controlled by the processing unit for enabling the cooling fluid to flow toward to the position of maximum hot spot position.
CONSTANT TEMPERATURE WATER SUPPLY APPARATUS
A constant temperature water supply apparatus includes a temperature adjustment unit that circulates cooling water and adjusts the temperature of a spindle unit of a processing apparatus and a processing water temperature adjustment unit. The temperature adjustment unit includes a pump that sends the cooling water to the spindle unit, a cooling water cooling unit, a first pipe that connects the pump and the cooling unit, a second pipe that connects the cooling unit and the spindle unit, and a third pipe that connects the spindle unit and the pump. The processing water temperature adjustment unit includes a processing water pipe that has one end connected to a water source and supplies processing water from the other end side to a processing tool and a heat exchange unit on the processing water pipe.
WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING METHOD FOR PROCESSING APPARATUS
A water temperature setting method for a processing apparatus for processing a workpiece held by a holding table by rotating at a high speed a spindle with a processing tool mounted thereto and supplying processing water to the processing tool. A set temperature for the processing water supplied to the processing tool is set to be higher than a set temperature for spindle cooling water supplied to a spindle unit that rotates the spindle at the high speed, in consideration of a lowering in temperature due to evaporation of the processing water scattered from the processing tool due to the high-speed rotation of the processing tool.
Machine tools and methods of operation thereof
A fluid temperature control assembly in combination with a machine tool, and a method of adjusting the temperature of a fluid being supplied to a machine tool. The assembly is arranged to adjust the temperature of a fluid being supplied to the machine tool to maintain the fluid at a setpoint temperature at a location downstream of the assembly. The assembly comprises a radio frequency (RF) or microwave energy source to supply energy to the fluid as it passes through the assembly to heat the fluid, a temperature sensing arrangement for outputting a temperature signal responsive to the temperature of the fluid at the downstream location, and a control arrangement configured to receive the temperature signal and control the energy source with reference to the temperature signal to heat the fluid so as to maintain the fluid at the setpoint temperature at the downstream location.
Fixed temperature liquid supply apparatus
A fixed temperature liquid supply apparatus for supplying liquid adjusted in temperature to a processing apparatus including a processing unit includes a tank that accommodates the liquid, a thermometer that measures the temperature of the liquid accommodated in the tank, and a compressed gas supply pipe one end of which is connected to a compressed gas source reserving a compressed gas, the other end of which reaches the tank, and which supplies the compressed gas from the compressed gas source to the tank. The liquid accommodated in the tank is cooled by bubbles of the compressed gas, and the cooled liquid is supplied to the processing apparatus.
APPARATUS FOR COOLING AND LOAD-COMPENSATING RAM SPINDLE AND MACHINE TOOL INCLUDING SAME
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for cooling a ram spindle and compensating for a load and a machine tool including the same, in which a cooling unit cools a friction part between a ram spindle and a saddle when the ram spindle, which is transferred by means of the box guideway, is thermally deformed, and a hydraulic pressure closed circuit automatically compensates for a load applied to a plurality of gibs, which is provided inside the saddle and installed between the saddle and the ram spindle, except for a reference surface with which the ram spindle is in close contact, so as to correspond to the reference surface in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction in case that a load applied to the gib is changed by thermal deformation of the ram spindle even though the cooling unit is used, such that the surface pressure applied to the gib is automatically and constantly maintained, which makes it possible to improve machining precision of the machine tool, reduce machining costs by preventing a waste of resources, improve productivity by increasing a non-machining time, and improve stability and reliability of the machine tool.
