Turning machine filtration systems
These systems typically have a chip tray / chip conveyor for pre- filtration. The system houses a pump designed for suitable flow and pressure. The system has monitoring devices like level indicator, pressure sensor, pressure gauge etc. The feedback from the monitoring units is given to the CNC machine to ensure that the system is healthy.
LEX Turning machine filtration systems offer the following salient features:
- Simple and easy to integrate with CNC machine
- Robust construction, minimal maintenance
- Extended machine life due to consistent filtration of coolant
Coolant filtration system for Machining centres
At LEX, we make plug and play coolant filtration systems and chillers for various European, Japanese and Indian HMCs and VMCs. These systems often have chip conveyors suitable for the application and material of chips, followed with finer filtration arrangements like Compact U Band Filter or Cartridge / Bag filters for coolant through spindle applications. These systems can be integrated with LEX chillers to deliver coolant at optimal temperature to the machine.
LEX Machining centre filtration systems offer the following salient features:
- Chip conveyor, filtration, through coolant setup built in a single package
- Plug and play integration with CNC machine
- Integrated with LEX chiller to maintain optimum coolant temperatur
- Improved component accuracy and extended machine life owing to consistent filtration of coolant
Grinding machine filtration systems
Depending upon the material of the component, material removal rate and level of filtration required, LEX TECHNOAID offers various types of filtration systems. The first stage of filtration in case of grinding of Ferrous materials is by a powerful Rare Earth Magnetic Drum Separator. These Magnetic Drum Separators remove a huge quantity of chips thereby reducing the load on consumable filters like Compact U Band Filters, bag/cartridge filters etc. Filtration level of up to 5 Microns can be provided with these systems. For non-ferrous materials, the filtration system typically comprises Compact U Band Filters for the first stage of filtration and Cartridge / Bag filters for second stage of filtration.
LEX Grinding machine filtration systems offer the following salient features:
- Highly powerful Rare Earth Magnetic Drum Separators reduce consumable cost
- Integrated with LEX chiller to maintain optimum coolant temperature
- Improved component accuracy and extended machine life owing to consistent filtration of coolant
- Compact U Band Filters and Cartridge/Bag filters designed to provide filtration up to 5 Microns
Coolant filtration system for Honing and Lapping machines
These systems are very similar in setup to grinding machine filtration systems. However, two or three stage filtration systems are provided for Honing to maintain critical filtration levels of upto 3 Microns. These systems are typically integrated with LEX chillers to maintain thermal stability of the cutting oil / coolant.
LEX Honing and Lapping machine filtration systems offer the following salient features:
- Highly powerful Rare Earth Magnetic Drum Separators reduce consumable cost
- Integrated with LEX chiller to maintain optimum coolant temperature
- Improved component accuracy and extended machine life owing to consistent filtration of coolant
- Systems are designed to ensure minimal oil wastage
Gun Drilling filtration systems
These systems are used for deep-drilling applications where the L/D ratios are high. Systems are provided with special pumps to deliver up to 500 bar pressure. Servo controlled valves can be used to regulate coolant flow & pressure from the machine’s CNC system. LEX chillers can be integrated to maintain the required coolant temperature.
LEX Gun Drilling filtration systems offer the following salient features:
- Filtration level up to 5 microns can be provided
- Chiller removes the heat from coolant due to friction and cutting
- Programmable flow and pressure control eliminates manual intervention
- Suitable for single and multi-spindle applications
- Reduction in wear of gun-drills and guide bushes
HYDRAULIC OIL FILTRATION SYSTEM
LEX Hydraulic Oil Filtration Systems have the following benefits:
- No downtime as oil is cleaned continuously when machine is in operation.
- Less component wear, achieves extended life of hydraulic components.
- Avoids frequent breakdowns.
- Helps to retain original oil properties for a longer time.
- Improves efficiency and overall system performance.
FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR COMPONENT WASHING MACHINES
FLUID FILTRATION SYSTEMS
LEX Washing Machine Filtration Systems have the following benefits:
- Achieves effective cleaning of the component with clean fluid
- Helps prevent the accumulation of contamination within the tank.
- Achieves Filtration level up to 5 microns
- Integrated with heater to maintain the right temperature of the cleaning fluid
- Provided with easily replaceable filter media.
FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING
Electro Chemical Machining uses electrolyte for material removal process. Designed for the filtration of liquids used in ECM process, these filtration systems are manufactured using different grades of Stainless Steel to withstand corrosive liquids.
LEX ECM Filtration Systems have the following benefits:
- Enhances life of electrolytes
- Helps to prevent the accumulation of contamination within the tank.
