VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR ZUFÜHRUNG UND TRENNUNG/RÜCKGEWINNUNG DER KÜHLFLÜSSIGKEIT VON SCHNEIDMASCHINEN UND SCHLEIFMASCHINEN

摘要

A method and apparatus for feeding coolant liquid to a lathe with a nozzle (53) having a discharge port (58) of substantially rectangular cross section and a constricted curved surface portion (62) on its inner wall to produce a turbulent flow and a loosely mounted tongue piece (59) crossing the section of the discharge port and projecting outside the port. The coolant is thus discharged as a collection of particulate turbulent flows containing air bubbles drawn into the coolant liquid as it passes by the tongue piece. The coolant is caused to impinge on the rotating peripheral surface (56) which is continuous with the region of the workpiece in contact with the cutter (57).
