[Improvement Case] Switching processing oils in response to the revision of the REACH regulations.

Achieving satisfactory processing accuracy and tool life! A case where a lubricant compliant with REACH regulations was found.

We would like to introduce a case where we switched to a machining oil that achieves the desired machining precision and tool life while complying with the revised REACH regulations. A company engaged in integrated production from mold design and manufacturing to mass production and assembly of precision metal press parts consulted us because the oil-based machining oil they had been using was added to the list of SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) due to the revision of the REACH regulations, necessitating a response. We proposed switching to a chlorine-free machining oil suitable for tapping and conducted a series of test trials. As a result, we were able to achieve the target of 5,000 shots with one of the machining oil samples. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - The chlorine-based additives in the oil-based machining oil being used were added to the SVHC list due to the revision of the REACH regulations. ■ Benefits of Implementation - Achieved the desired machining precision and tool life while switching to a chlorine-free machining oil. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
