Many aluminum alloys can be machined effectively without coolants. We prefer to use an evaporative cutting fluid.

Dry aluminum parts : If products are left wet, coolants and lubricants will leave residue on the aluminum, damaging the appearance of aluminum products.

Therefore, we use no or minimal cutting fluids (full jet on the cutter). We machine dry, or use a measured amount of cutting fluid, directed at the cutting zone instead of the tool.

At VRIMON, unmanned turning is performed on lathes with automatic bar feed magazines up to ø76mm. These lathes have a double spindle that can handle products and also feature driven tools for eccentric machining (e.g., flange holes). They can be performed both axially and radially. This ensures the product is removed from the machine in its entirety.
