Cutting Fluid System

The cutting fluid system consists of a fluid tank, pump, and flexible nozzle. The pump pulls fluid from the tank and sends it to the valve, which controls the flow of cutting fluid to the work area. When the valve is opened or closed, the fluid comes out of the nozzle and drains through the chip drawer and into the catch tray and then into the tank where it is picked up again by the pump. Figure 122 shows many of these components and their locations.

Although most swarf from machining operations falls into the chip tray and stays there, some small chips drain into the tank. The pump uses a screen to prevent it from picking up the small swarf that ends up in the tank.

Since the swarf is spread throughout the coolant system, cleaning the system on a regular basis is a requirement to maintain the life of the pump.

Hazards

As some cutting fluid ages, dangerous microbes can proliferate and create a biological hazard. The risk of exposure to this hazard can be greatly reduced by replacing the old cutting fluid on a monthly basis, as indicated in the maintenance schedule.

The important thing to keep in mind when working with the cutting fluid is to minimize exposure to your skin, eyes, and respiratory system by wearing the proper PPE (personal protective equipment), such as splash-resistant safety glasses, long-sleeve gloves, protective clothing, and a NIOSH approved respirator.
