Dielectric Fluid
Our dielectric fluids have allowed our users with EDM Machines to increase amperage, thus reducing process times by as much as 30%. Also, they create a non-conductive channel allowing the spark to hit its target accurately and at a full charge. It has the added benefit of reduced carbonization, which significantly reduces gummy residue.
Crystal Brite ® EDM has been proven successful in both high and low amperage spark erosion processes. Its unique blend of low viscosity ultra-pure hydrocarbons with the latest synthetic technology provides a crystal clear fluid with high oxidation stability and extremely low viscosity. The result is stability under high amperage as well as fast flushing in tight tolerance finishing work.
“Makino has tested the Crystal Brite EDM fluid and found it to provide excellent performance. The resulting speed, accuracy, and surface finish achieved with Crystal Brite EDM fluid was well within established Makino thresholds using standard machining conditions.” –Brian Pfluger, Makino EDM Product Manager
Crystal Brite ® EDM is safe, operator friendly and odorless. It contains no solvent-based hydrocarbons. This helps eliminate skin irritation associated with solvents and reduces oil mist and solvent vapor exposure. The combination of low viscosity and low specific gravity produces faster more efficient flushing and filtration resulting in increased metal removal rates by as much as 30%. Filtration is improved due to less carbon and residue formation. The filter lasts longer and particulates are prevented from returning to the electrode work piece interface.
