Okuma America has launched its new Okuma high-pressure coolant system (OHP), targeting manufacturers who need reliable coolant delivery for demanding machining operations.
The world-leading CNC machine tool builder designed the OHP to deliver variable-flow, high-pressure coolant to its machine tools, helping manufacturers achieve better chip evacuation, longer tool life, and improved surface finishes.
"We at Okuma are dedicated to helping our customers succeed and reach greater potential for their businesses," Wade Anderson, vice president of engineering and Okuma factory automation, said. "The launch of this new high pressure coolant system is an example of how Okuma is working to create an easy to implement manufacturing systems to support efficiencies and growth."
Mining operations increasingly rely on high-pressure coolant systems to maintain their heavy-duty CNC machining equipment used for component manufacturing and repair. These systems deliver pressurized coolant fluids that remove metal chips, reduce heat buildup, and extend tool life during the machining of critical mining equipment parts such as drill bits, crusher components, and conveyor system elements.
The harsh conditions in mining environments demand robust coolant delivery that can handle continuous operation while machining hardened steels and specialized alloys. High-pressure coolant technology helps mining companies reduce downtime by improving surface finishes on replacement parts and enabling faster machining speeds, ultimately supporting more efficient equipment maintenance cycles that keep mining operations running smoothly.
The system delivers 8 gallons per minute at up to 1,000 PSI pressure, making it suitable for multi-axis lathes, multi-function machines, and machining centers across various industries. Operators can monitor the system through plain-English PLC messaging, while a dirty filter alarm alerts users when maintenance is needed.
Key features include dual 7x32-inch, 5-micron quick-change filter bags that maintain coolant cleanliness, a 50-gallon vertical reservoir, and a built-in feed/supply pump for extended machining cycles. The system works with water-based coolants and suitable oils, giving shops flexibility in their coolant choices.
Measuring 36 inches long by 28 inches wide by 42 inches high and weighing 850 pounds, the OHP fits into most shop environments. Okuma offers the system with 208/230V standard power, with 480V available, and backs it with a two-year parts warranty.
