Industrial chiller as a modern manufacturing industry, one of the important equipment, with the wide application of CNC machine tools, has become an indispensable and important part of production and processing. CNC machine tools, high-speed operation, and efficient processing make the machine tool and tool in the processing process generate a lot of heat, if you can not do timely and effective exclusion, will be adversely affected by the processing quality and machine performance. In this context, the application of industrial chiller is particularly important. By providing cooling water, the industrial chiller effectively controls the temperature of CNC machine tools in the machining process, to ensure that the temperature of the tool and the workpiece is in the appropriate range, thereby improving the machining accuracy, extending the life of the tool, but also significantly improve productivity. In this paper, we will explore the key role of industrial chiller in the application of CNC machine tools, as well as the many advantages it brings.

3 Reasons Why Industrial Chillers are Crucial for CNC Machines

Thermal deformation is a huge challenge in the operation of CNC machine tools. Its machine tool spindle, bearings, column, bed, and other parts will emit a lot of heat, which will lead to the expansion and deformation of the machine parts, thus affecting the accuracy and performance of the machine tool. To reduce thermal deformation, industrial chillers are needed to take away the heat from the CNC machine tool tanks to maintain a stable temperature within the machine tool system. In short, in the process of CNC machine tool operation, the role of industrial chiller is as follows:

●Extend the service life of cutting tools: CNC machine tools cutting tools in high-speed operation will produce a lot of heat, high temperature will lead to thermal expansion and thermal deformation of the tool, increasing the risk of tool wear and fatigue damage. By using an industrial chiller to reduce the temperature of the cutting tool, you can prevent the tool from overheating and extend the tool's life.

●Ensure machining accuracy of machined parts: High temperatures cause thermal expansion of workpieces and machine components, causing them to change in size. This may result in the dimensions of the workpiece being out of the specified tolerance range, thus affecting the precision and dimensional control of machining. Therefore, the use of water coolers to cool the workpiece and machine parts of CNC machine tools is important to improve machining accuracy.

●Ensure the machining quality of machined parts: high temperature will lead to softening or deformation of the material, so that the chips generated during the cutting process are difficult to discharge, increasing the friction of the cutting area, which in turn reduces the quality of the machined surface and precision. Through the use of an industrial chiller to reduce the temperature of the production process, you can ensure the surface finish and quality of machined parts.

How to Choose the Right Industrial Chiller for CNC Machining?

●Refrigeration capacity: different CNC machine tools need to configure different refrigeration capacities of industrial chiller. For example: high-speed cutting CNC machine tools may require a high-power industrial chiller, and a small machining shop or machining center configuration of a low-power chiller can meet its needs.

●Energy efficiency ratio: different brands of chillers using different designs, production technology, spare parts, and so on. Therefore, the energy efficiency ratio of the chiller is different. For example, some well-known brands of compressors use advanced technology and materials, and their cooling efficiency and energy efficiency ratios are higher.

●After-sales serviceability: examine whether the chiller manufacturer has a professional technical support team to provide technical training, after-sales service, etc.
