A stamping plant faced significant downtime, losing 4 days for CNC machine heat treating. Additionally, foaming issues reduced tool life and extended cycle times.

Martin assessed the situation and recommended a high-performance, low-foaming semi-synthetic coolant suitable for multi-metal applications. The new coolant optimized tool life and surface finish, while reducing foaming in de-ionized water.

The coolant delivered impressive outcomes:

• Reduced Downtime: Downtime was cut from 4 days to 2, saving $2,000 per event.
• Eliminated Foam: Improved visibility and production efficiency.
• Faster Cycle Time: Cycle time was halved, and machine speed increased by 40%, resulting in a total annual savings of $360,000.

Minimized Downtime and Cost Savings: By switching to a low-foaming coolant, Martin helped the plant cut CNC machine downtime in half, saving $2,000 per event and improving operational efficiency.

Enhanced Tool Life and Productivity: The high-performance coolant eliminated foaming issues, enhancing tool life, visibility, and production efficiency, while allowing a 40% increase in machine speed.

Significant Annual Savings: With faster cycle times and reduced downtime, the plant achieved a total annual savings of $360,000, showcasing the value of Martin’s solution in boosting productivity and cost-effectiveness.
