Jorgensen Showcased New FlexForce Chiller Option

October 9, 2024 3:37 pm

Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions showcased a new chiller option on its advanced FlexForce high-pressure coolant system for through-spindle coolant system (TSC) applications at IMTS 2024. FlexForce gets coolant directly to the cutting zone by breaking through the heat-generated vapor barrier created at the cutting tool and workpiece interface.

The new 30,000 BTU chiller displayed at IMTS 2024 on a FlexForce 1,000 PSI unit removes heat from the coolant system, increasing thermal stability of the machining environment, reducing the need to adjust offsets and improving part tolerances.

Customizable Options

Jorgensen offers the FlexForce high pressure coolant system in 500 or 1,000 PSI configurations with variable flow rates from two to eight gallons per minute (GPM) in addition to its standard unit with a flow rate of eight GPM. Both the standard and variable flow rate options are available in 500 or 1,000 PSI configurations. They get coolant directly to the cutting zone to improve lubrication and heat dissipation, cutting speeds and feeds, chip control and part surface finishes. Standard units filter to 10 microns; however, 5-to-25-micron filtration options are available upon request.

Intelligent Design

Designed for fail-safe operation, a low-pressure suction pump draws coolant out of an existing coolant reservoir, through a bag filter and into the FlexForce reservoir. From there a high-pressure pump sends pressurized coolant through the machine spindle and directly to the cutting point. As a result, faster machine feeds and speeds are possible for greater productivity.

The onboard coolant reservoir continuously feeds FlexForce’s high-pressure pump, and multiple electronic sensors monitor a variety of critical levels for lights-out operations. Automatic pressure regulators and machine-controlled dump valves, along with other fail-safes dramatically reduce or eliminate the risk of system damage.

FlexForce provides safe and efficient operation in a maintenance-friendly design with a small footprint. It easily integrates with existing coolant systems. FlexForce units can also be custom engineered for applications that fall outside the standard 500 or 1,000 PSI models.
