5ME Acquires Cryogenic Patents

Ohio, USA: 5ME acquired 51 patents in four patent families from Creare, an innovator in cryogenic systems and fluid dynamics. The acquisition gives 5ME control of the intellectual property related to cryogenic machining – specifically, the process of transmitting liquid nitrogen at -197 deg C through the spindle/turret and tool body, directly to a cutting tool’s edge.

Each patent procured is related to cryogenic machining and aids in making it simpler for customers to adapt to this technology, regardless of process or brand of machine.

The technology enables higher cutting speeds for increased material removal rates and longer tool life. “The empirical knowledge gained through exhaustive testing and combined efforts of 5ME and Creare have proven that cryogenic machining is a viable method in manufacturing today,” said Bill Horwarth, president, 5ME.
