COOLANT CONTROL PAD

Coolant Control Pad
In the context of energy-savings measures and the needs-based use of resources on machine tools, intelligent control of assemblies is be-
coming increasingly important. The Coolant Control Pad is used to regulate frequency-controlled pumps as well as control valves based High pressure
on needs. It also enables individual pressure control at the relevant lubricoolant nozzle for each lubricoolant consumption point, thereby Example
also controlling the lubricoolant exit speed and volume flow. This device automatically controls how much lubricoolant is discharged (bar)
when and where. Pressure (bar): 6.6
Exit speed (m/s): 15.0
Consisting of a real-time system and innovative calculation software, the Coolant Control Pad can use pressure, exit speed or volume Volume flow (l/min): 206.4 Exit speed
flow parameters on lubricoolant nozzles to carry out control tasks. The lubricoolant exit speed, in particular, is a decisive variable for the Exit speed (m/s) Volume flow (l/min)
machining process, whereas pressure settings are less significant. The target value is stored in the machining program of the machine Outlet cross-section: 250 mm 2 (m/s)
Medium: Oil
and fed via an interface to the lubricoolant control module, which then specifies the precise setting of the pump or valve. This ensures
that the process is always supplied with exactly the right volume of lubricoolant at the right time and with minimum energy consumption.
Low pressure

ADVANTAGES
Pressure (bar)

Nozzle-related control of the lubricoolant exit speed at the Grindaix nozzle
Ready - Control active
Cycle-related (roughing/finishing) nozzle supply

Energy-efficient, needs-based lubricoolant supply
Monitoring of the lubricoolant exit speed directly at the Grindaix nozzle

Control independent of the make/type of machine, pump and piping system

High system speed for rapidly changing process cycles
