Abstract: Machining systems, fluid distribution systems, and methods are provided by the present disclosure. Certain aspects relate to fluid distribution using manifolds comprising one or more nozzles for fluid distribution. Some such manifolds may moved between an extended and retracted configuration to place a machining tool of a machining system in an interior opening of the manifold for delivery of a machining fluid to the machining tool and/or an associated machining interface from the manifold. Some aspects relate to adaptive control of fluid distribution systems and machining systems in order to improve machining.

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.

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.
