  • Patent number: 6890131
    Abstract: To provide a method for machining a workpiece, whereby chips are removed from the workpiece, wherein sufficient lubrication of the machining tool and sufficient cooling of the machining tool and the workpiece being machined are ensured, and chips resulting from the machining are simultaneously prevented from remaining inside recesses in the workpiece, a method comprising the following method steps is proposed: introducing a lubricant in a flowable state into at least one recess of the workpiece; solidifying the lubricant in the recess; machining the workpiece, whereby chips are removed from the workpiece, with at least one machining tool coming into direct contact with the lubricant and being lubricated by the lubricant; transforming the lubricant remaining in the recess of the workpiece into the flowable state and removing the lubricant from the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 6579454
    Abstract: In order to produce a magnetic separator for separating particles from a fluid, comprising a collection chamber through which the fluid is arranged to flow, and a device for producing a magnetic field by means of which the particles are retained in a collector region of the collection chamber during a collection phase, whereby only a very small amount of liquid is lost when the particles retained in the collector region of the collection chamber are removed from the collection chamber after the collection phase, it is proposed that the magnetic separator comprise a sluice chamber having a closable inlet opening through which the particles collected in the collection chamber are transferable into the sluice chamber, and also having a closable extraction opening through which the particles are removable from the sluice chamber.

  • Publication number: 20030089425
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a process for the separation of aluminium and grey cast iron cuttings from a cutting mixture. Herein, the cuttings are collected and fed to a first transport section (20). The cuttings are transported along the first transport section (20) and subjected to a magnetic field in such a way that due to the effect of gravity the aluminium cuttings leave the first transport section (20) at a first location (34), and the grey cast iron cuttings held by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic field, follow the first transport section (20) for a predetermined distance as far as a second location (36) and also leave this transport section (20) there, wherein the cuttings are gathered separately from one another at the first and second locations (34, 36).
