Since starting production in October 2023, F&P CNC Technik GmbH has placed its trust in high-performance metalworking fluids from Blaser Swisslube. This newly established, state-of-the-art contract manufacturing company benefits not only from the quality of the metalworking fluids used – B-Cool MC 600 and Blasomill 10 – but especially from comprehensive automation, which also involves the refilling system from Liquidtool Systems, a sister company of Blaser Swisslube. The partnership is an example of modern manufacturing at the highest level.
The F&P manufacturing process uses high-alloy stainless steel, Hastelloy duplex steel, and other materials that are difficult to machine. Drawing on 15 years of experience in a management position at a milling and turning company, F&P Managing Director Florian Fassbender was very familiar with complex manufacturing processes and the associated specific demands placed on metalworking fluids. “Many people fail to understand the importance of the metalworking fluid for process security,” he stresses. For this reason, the specialists from Blaser Swisslube were on board from the very beginning in the quest to find the ideal metalworking fluid solution for the complex processes.
Working together, the companies identified which Blaser products perfectly matched F&P’s requirements: While Blasomill 10, a high-performance mineral oil-based cutting oil with excellent wear protection, is used for turning and milling operations, the universal metalworking fluid B-Cool MC 600 covers a wide range of machining applications. B-Cool MC 600 is a water-miscible, chlorine- and boron-free mineral oil-based metalworking fluid that guarantees the best surface quality for both large and small production runs.
F&P Managing Director Florian Fassbender: “The numerous advantages speak for themselves. Since introducing Liquidtool automation, we have succeeded in increasing tool life by 20 percent, thanks to the use of AutoPilot. What’s more, precision refilling has significantly reduced the consumption of metalworking fluid.” Machine downtime due to metalworking fluid failures or overflows has been completely eliminated. The Blaser solution ensures maximum efficiency, high process security, and a clear reduction in costs. Perhaps most importantly of all, optimum process stability can also be ensured with automated machining.
“Having Blaser as a partner has enabled us to set new standards in machining,” emphasizes Fassbender. Led by Sales Engineer Sascha Schafhausen, Blaser’s team continuously assists the production process and contributes the know-how required to meet the high demands of the industry.
