CNC processing: permanent monitoring of the storage temperature of cooling lubricants
To ensure that production processes can be monitored and controlled, information about the current status of the process is essential. It’s irrelevant whether the product is a gas or a liquid. Not knowing the temperature and pressure process parameters makes it extremely difficult to control processes.
APPLICATION
Not only do modern CNC processing centres have to ensure that products can be produced efficiently and at a high quality, they also have to be designed in such a way that they do not expose employees to any potential hazards whilst complying with energy-orientated and environmental aspects at the same time.
Cooling lubricants are used to reduce the friction between the tool and the work piece on the one hand, and to dissipate heat and splinters on the other. The storage of cooling lubricants is very important to maintain their long service life. This means the optimal concentrate temperature lies between 15°C and 20°C.
IMPLEMENTATION
The storage temperature of cooling lubricants and other lubricants must be monitored on a permanent basis to ensure they can be used optimally in the production process. The TS 300 temperature switch performs this task perfectly and supports users with its versatile functions.
The temperature value can easily and clearly be read from the 4-digit LED display. The display can be pivoted on several axes so that it can easily be seen even in unconventional mounting locations. The TS 300 also has a multifunctional signal output. This means that users can decide whether they want to use the TS 300 with a switching output (PNP, NPN), an analogue signal (mA, V) or a digital output signal (IO link). All of these options can quickly and easily be established for the temperature switch by using the operating menu and contribute towards the optimum use of the cooling lubricant.
