To ensure high-quality processing of metal workpieces, it is customary to use not only specialized metalworking machines, but also additional accessories that contribute to improving the quality of finished products.
Such accessories usually include:
- refractometer;
- speedometer;
- strain gauge.
Refractometer
A refractometer is a device that is used to measure the concentration of an emulsion.This device can be either electronic digital or optical manual.
The main task of the refractometer is to measure the concentration of lubricants, oils and lubricants.
The principle of operation of this equipment is based on the application of the phenomenon of refraction of light.
During the transition from one substance to another, the light beam deviates from the rectilinear direction by a certain angle.
The ratio of the angles of entry and refraction is called the refractive index.
It is thanks to this value that the concentration of the solution is determined.
It is worth adding that calibration may be required before using this device.
Speedometer
During the metalworking process, there may be such a problem as incorrect sawing speed.As a result of this problem, the quality of the workpiece is significantly reduced.
In order to comply with the necessary sawing parameters, it is customary to use a speedometer.
The use of this accessory allows you to take into account the wear of the drive elements of machine tools and other possible errors.
Advantages of modern speedometers:
- convenience;
- accuracy;
- reliability and ease of use.
Strain gauge
To measure the tension of a band saw, it is customary to use a tool such as a strain gauge.The use of this accessory for metalworking avoids problems such as poor-quality sawing and burst saws.
Thanks to strain gauges, the working life of band saw equipment is significantly increased and it is possible to comply with all conditions of the metalworking process.
These advantages of strain gauges contribute to improving the quality of the final product.
Chip Removal brushes
Another accessory that can be used in the metalworking process is a brush for removing chips from saw blades made of bimetal and high-speed carbon steel.Such brushes are also used for processing saws with spraying and carbide soldering.
To achieve the desired result, the brushes must be soft and wear-resistant.
Another important requirement is the possibility of trouble–free cleaning of this accessory.
The importance of these brushes is difficult to overestimate.
Due to their use, rapid wear of the working surface of the pulley is prevented.
In addition, the use of this accessory helps to increase the working life of band saws by 50%.
