Pure Precision.
The new MVR & AVR Vision systems from Starrett combine the strengths of hi-resolution digital video technology, powerful yet intuitive software, touch- screen operation and a precision Metrology platform to offer a multi-functional measurement and inspection system years to come.
The machining objectives identifi ed by its Six Sigma program for its high-volume precision production led Cobra Metal Works to look for coolant fi ltration systems that would minimize downtime for its high-volume production ma- chines. “The biggest challenge we have is to get the most uptime that you can get out of each machine,” said Hirsch. “One of the issues we had with traditional chip conveyor fi ltration systems is that chips and sludge had a tendency to get into the bottom of the tank. We would have to frequently pull the tank, clean out the sludge and grime that had accumulated, and then refi ll the machine so it could go back into production,” said Hirsch. Hirsch learned about JK Industries sustainable filtration systems at IMTS. “The JKI sustainable filtration system completely removes chips and micro fines from the coolant so that we don’t get accumulation that leads to excessive downtime to shut off units and clean them out,” said Hirsch. Ma- chines that would normally have to be cleaned out multiple times throughout the year are now completing their first year of production without cleanings, and the coolant and tanks are still very clean.

“Our sustainable fi ltration systems enable shops to switch from machin- ing one metal to machining another without having to change the coolant system and our systems work on water- soluble and straight oil cutting fl uids,” said Keith Urban, inventor of the Hy- droClean coolant fi ltration system and president, JK Industries LLC (Warren, MI). “Metals include aluminum, cast iron, titanium, steel, and exotic metals like beryllium. Shops that are doing production machining with stand-alone machining centers constantly face sumps that fi ll with solids. These solids
