IMTS 2022 VIDEO: Breakthroughs from Master Fluid Solutions and Mitutoyo Turbocharge Machine Shops

Game-changing breakthroughs for modern machine shops stretch far beyond state-of-the-art saw blades, drills and mills.

New metalworking lubricants are just one example of innovations that keep metalworking businesses competitive, helping them thrive amid challenges from surging inflation and supply-chain disruption to widespread labor shortages.

HyperSol 888 NXT, which Master Fluid Solutions is showcasing at IMTS 2022 in Chicago, lets machine shops operate more efficiently by maximizing the capabilities of the equipment they already have on hand.

“Cutting fluid makes up less than half a percent of the cost of a part, but a small difference in a price in a coolant can have a huge difference in the total effect of what a part costs,” says John Treese, the company’s director of global training.

Meanwhile, measurement and quality-control tools, such as MeasurLink from Mitutoyo, curb the time required for quality control.

MeasurLink puts data from inspection tools into a centralized location where engineers and production and quality managers can analyze it “and effectively come up with cost reductions, continuous improvement, increased throughput and increased productivity and really make their customers happy,” says Hany Abdel-Motaleb, national data management and MeasurLink sales engineer for Mitutoyo.
