Development of an Innovative Water Machining System Employing the Electric Rust Preventive Method - Precise Evaluation of Purity of the Refined Water with a Laser Turbidity Meter

Abstract

Green manufacturing is important subject. In order to reduce waste disposal cost and environmental load, decreasing machining fluid that contains several chemicals such as oil, extreme pressure agent etc. is demanded. In this investigation, the electric rust preventive machining method system that uses only water as machining fluid have been developed. This paper mentioned about evaluation of recycled water quality. The refined water that is purified with developed water recycle system which is installed reverse osmosis membrane (RO) is too clean to evaluate by normal method till now. Using laser turbidity meter, precise water purification is evaluated precisely. Therefore, it is clarified that RO refined water turbidity (RO1=0.0006, RO2=0.0003) is very low compared with clean tap water (0.1207). So, water recycle system can remove contaminating fine particle from water. It is expected that scratch less ultra precision machining with water is enabled to conduct with high filtration ability.
