FB-ASSIST “Fine Bubbles,” one of Japan’s leading technological innovations, is gaining recognition across various industries including medical, agricultural, and aquaculture. Nippon Tungsten has developed a device that generates fine bubbles in water-soluble coolant used for grinding processes. This technology shows great potential for addressing manufacturers’ key concerns: achieving superior quality while maintaining energy efficiency-particularly crucial for processing difficult-to-cut materials.
Specification
Multiple model numbers are available depending on the flow rate of coolant flowing inside the piping. Please select the model number according to your piping diameter and coolant flow rate.
