Case study: Coolant monitoring on machining processes.

A proper coolant flow is essential to increase the useful life of cutting tooling, the quality of the work pieces and maintain an adequate and stable temperature in the machining processes. Brother machines that use refrigerant flow in their processes may have flow variations due to different factors caused such as excess burr in the tank or even a low level of coolant, with all the previous gives us a simple conclusion: "Reduction of costs and downtime".

INSTALLATION SCENARIO: CNC BROTHER SPEEDIO.

For efficiency in reduction of failures due to the coolant in Brother CNC machines, There is a very simple mentation, so much in installation, as in level of use because the operator should not even worry about performing no extra process or manipulation with this implementation, just pay attention to the screen of the machine as soon as it throws an alarm caused by an abnormal flow of coolant through the pipes. The manipulation of alarms can vary depending on what the customer is looking for, which can be a simple warning or a complete stop of the machine. It is recommended to analyze the importance of probable damage that the variation in the flow of coolant or even the non-flow through the lines (regardless of whether the M08 code and the pumps have been executed) can cause on the tooling and / or workpiece quality.

The installation of this implementation is carried out with the help of a flow switch, directly connected over the coolant flow lines to perform a more precise and fast monitoring. The switch delivers information which is manipulated inside the PLC of the machine to control the alarms on the screen based on the normal flow ranges.

Undoubtedly this type of implementations in your Brother CNC machining centers will make a tangible difference in the control of expenses and quality.

In Yamazen we have trained service engineers to carry out, in all the different models of Brother CNC machining centers, the implementation of monitoring systems like the one mentioned above or different based on the requirements of our customers.
