  • Publication number: 20230256526
    Abstract: Improvements in tooling for machining systems that utilize machining fluids comprising a supercritical fluid are disclosed. In some embodiments a tool may include a plurality of orifices configured to direct a supercritical machining fluid towards a cutting interface of the tool. In other embodiments, a tool holder may include one or more outlets configured to direct a supercritical machining fluid towards a cutting interface. Moreover, some embodiments, may relate to machining systems including one or more venting channels configured to provide pressure relief for a cavity located behind a tool holder. Embodiments related to machine tools including upstream fluid restrictions for controlling a flow of supercritical machining fluid through a tool are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230182254
    Abstract: Improvements in machining systems that utilize machining fluids comprising a supercritical fluid are described. Some systems may provide centralized distribution of a supercritical machining fluid and/or a lubricant to a plurality of machining tools in a machining facility. Other systems may allow for selective delivery of multiple machining fluids to a machine tool. For example, a supercritical machining fluid and a non-supercritical machining fluid may be selectively delivered to a machining tool as desired for a particular machining process.
