MACHINING SYSTEM WITH FLOW RESTRICTOR FOR SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE-BASED MINIMUM QUANTITY LUBRICATION MACHINING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18079295 titled 'MACHINING SYSTEM WITH FLOW RESTRICTOR FOR SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE-BASED MINIMUM QUANTITY LUBRICATION MACHINING
The machining system described in the patent application includes a coolant tube assembly with a tubular body, a shoulder, a restrictor, and a sleeve. The assembly is designed to restrict flow from the central bore through the distal end of the tubular body to a flow area of less than 0.126 mm.
- The tubular body is disposed about a central axis and defines a central bore extending axially from a proximal end to a distal end.
- The shoulder extends radially outward from the perimeter surface of the tubular body.
- The restrictor is coupled to the tubular body and restricts flow through at least one aperture to a small flow area.
- The sleeve is rotatably disposed about the distal end of the tubular body and includes a male threadform and a mating shoulder.
Potential Applications: - Precision machining processes - High-performance coolant systems in manufacturing - Aerospace and automotive industries for precision cutting operations
Problems Solved: - Improved coolant flow control in machining systems - Enhanced precision and accuracy in machining processes - Reduction of heat buildup during cutting operations

Original Abstract Submitted
A machining system includes a coolant tube assembly including a tubular body, a shoulder, a restrictor, and a sleeve. The tubular body is disposed about a central axis and defines a central bore disposed about the central axis and extending axially from a proximal end of the tubular body toward a distal end of the tubular body. The shoulder extends radially outward from a perimeter surface of the tubular body. The restrictor is coupled to the tubular body and defines at least one aperture extending through the restrictor such that the restrictor is configured to restrict flow from the central bore through the distal end of the tubular body to a flow area of less than 0.126 mm. The sleeve is disposed rotatably about the distal end of the tubular body and defines a male threadform. The sleeve includes a mating shoulder that extends radially inward of the shoulder.
