SAMMANFATTNING
This thesis describes how the chip space and coolant channels are designed in today’s mills, the ideas behind the design and what is considered to be the best method of cooling. It contains ideas on how the chip space can be simplified. It contains several concepts on how the cooling could be designed for better efficiency and manufacturability. There are also suggestions on how the cooling could be stopped when the cutter isn’t cutting. Several of the concepts where interesting enough to test. In the tests you can see witch concepts that were tested and what the tests showed. The tests were evaluated and thereafter the concepts were further developed for more testing. Steel prototypes of the concepts were manufactured and tested during real conditions. An analysis of the prototypes produceability was conducted and compared to the existing product.
