Lubrispin EC500

The Lubrispin EC500 Manual Swarf Centrifuge is an essential piece of equipment in CNC engineering used for efficiently managing and recycling metal swarf (metal chips or shavings) produced during machining processes.

What is a Swarf Centrifuge?

A swarf centrifuge is designed to separate coolant or cutting fluids from metal swarf. In CNC machining, swarf is generated as a byproduct when metal is cut, drilled, or milled. This swarf is often mixed with coolant, lubricants, or other fluids used to keep the machining process efficient and reduce tool wear. A manual swarf centrifuge works by spinning the swarf at high speeds to separate the fluids from the metal chips through centrifugal force.

Why is it important?

At Atkinson Engineering UK Ltd, the LUBRISPIN EC500 is a critical tool for several reasons:
Cost Savings: It recovers valuable coolants and reduces waste.
Cleaner Workspace: Helps keep the workshop tidy by managing swarf effectively.
Eco-Friendly: Reduces hazardous waste and allows easier recycling of clean metal chips.
Efficiency: Improves workflow by managing waste more efficiently.

Quality system certifications

Being ISO 9001:2015 certified as a CNC engineering company means that Atkinson Engineering follows internationally recognized standards to ensure high-quality products and services. It shows that the company has a strong Quality Management System (QMS) in place, ensuring that:

Processes are well-organised

Autodesk Fusion 360 plays a crucial role in enhancing the design process at Atkinson Engineering, enabling us to deliver precise, high-quality CNC engineering solutions to our customers.

CAD Design

Integrated CAD, CAM, and CAE Capabilities

Fusion 360 combines computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE) into a single platform. This allows our engineers to seamlessly transition from design to manufacturing, streamlining the entire process and ensuring that the designs are optimised for CNC machining from the start.

Efficient Prototyping and Design Validation

Fusion 360’s advanced simulation tools allow us to test and validate designs digitally before physical production begins. We can run stress analyses, evaluate performance under different conditions, and optimize material usage, all of which ensure that the final components meet both functional and durability requirements.

Key Benefits

Real-Time Collaboration: Cloud-based platform allows us to work closely with customers, making design changes quickly and efficiently.
Enhanced Accuracy: Precision 3D modeling leads to fewer production errors and ensures components meet exact specifications.
