Sub-freezing air for dry machining and spot cooling industrial processes reliable, non-toxic, non-polluting, no residue, low cost. Stainless Steel Air Guns Spot Cooling System are your portable cold-air source for improving dry machining operations or spot-cooling a wide range of industrial processes.

Using only compressed air, the Stainless Steel Air Guns Spot Cooling System produce a stream of cold air 80 °F (45 °C) below your compressed air temperature.

It's clean, convenient-put the gun where you need it, using the magnetic base-aim the cold air stream onto your work with the flexible hose-go to work!

The Stainless Steel Air Guns Spot Cooling System are heavy-duty, built for the rigors of factory-floor service. Made of heavy-gauge stainless steel, they are precision-machined, assembled and tested under strict quality control. They will never pit or rust when subjected to coolants, water, or other corrosive materials.

History - Autumn 1998

Occasionally a milling operation comes along that cannot be done using coolants to dissipate the heat. Such is an operation at a machine shop in New Miami, Ohio. They have a job using 4140 steel with a 35 Rc rating. The inserts are so hard that coolants are not recommended because they can cause cracking. The operation is set up at a speed of 1350 rpm with a 5 inch per minute feed rate. The 2 inch cutter has three inserts.

The customer requires the end product to be mirror finished. Any discoloration from the heat results in a scrap product. For this reason, the inserts must be replaced after every eight pieces. At $8.00 per insert plus the operators time to replace the spent units, another method of machining had to be found.

Qualiturn contacted ARTX Ltd., The Air research Technology Company. They recommended the Stainless Steel Model 60040 that converts normal shop air into a sub-zero air stream and provides instant spot cooling. ARTX manufactures the only Stainless Steel cooler on the market which is very practical over aluminum units in hot areas with high speed chips involved.

Using the Model 60040, Qualiturn, was able to increase production by 400% before changing the inserts. According to Mike Barber, owner of Qualiturn Machining Center, "the ARTX Model 60040 at $275.00 was paid for during the first hour's run of products".

Compact, reliable, and maintenance free, the Stainless Steel Model 60040 provides a simple, clean, and coolant free solution to many machining operations. Just plug into a standard compressed air line (80-90 psi), aim the flexible 12" nozzle, and let it go to work. The magnetic base holds the Model 60040 in place on the machine. The same sub-zero air is available regardless of the position of the Model 60040.

In addition to dry machining, the Stainless Steel Model 60040 can improve drilling, grinding, or tapping operations. Also cooling motors, parts, processors, and mold are easily achieved to increase production. You can even use the cold air to shrink shafts and the hot air for expanding a bearing's trace for easy fits in pressing bearings onto shafts.

Plastics - Machining

	Model 60040 Air Gun speeds production on this plastics machining operation and improves finish by cooling, cutting tool with 10 °F (-12 C) air.

Metalworking - Band Sawing

	The Model 60040 Air Gun eliminates liquid coolant in cutting of bar stock. Cold air prolongs blade life and stops premature dulling.

Woodworking - Routing

	For faster routing, without burning and discoloring the wood, the Model 60040 Air Gun puts 10 °F (-12 C) air on the router bit, leaving no residue.

Metalworking - Grinding

	Grinding speed can be increased, while still holding tolerances, by using the Model 60040 Air Gun to cool the wheel and material.

Textiles - Sewing/Embroidering

	In production sewing or embroidering, the Model 60040 Air Gun eliminates needle heat build-up, which can cause thread burn-through and stoppages.

Food Processing - Product Cooling

	Two stainless steel Model 60040 Air Guns in a plastic enclosure provide clean, dry, cold air to cool baked goods - for a tiny fraction of the cost of a long cooling conveyor.
