168 Manufacturing, a brand of Precision Tool Technologies that designs and develops CNC machine shop automation technologies, is partnering with six new North American distributors for its FullShop Automated Coolant Management Systems.
The distributors will deliver 168 Manufacturing’s flagship FS120 series and newer FS40 series of automatic coolant delivery systems to end users across the U.S. and Canada. U.S. distributors include Tool Technology Distributors (California); Lindco Springfield (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont); Christensen Machinery (Michigan and Wisconsin); and PTSolutions (over 20 locations across the U.S.). Canada distributors include Edge Production (British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan); Drillmex Inc. (Quebec); and Canadian Tooling Solution (appointed sales agent for all of Canada).
“We’re excited to partner with these successful, well-established companies, enabling us to bring our game-changing automation system to even more machine shops across North America,” says Shawn Nelson, 168 Manufacturing sales manager. “Our system has already brought many benefits to countless machine shops, including better profitability, higher throughput and lights-out capabilities.”
168 Manufacturing’s FullShop systems monitor and replenish all CNC sumps with optimized top-off ratios. The company says these turnkey units are easy to install and maintain, and consist of a centralized pumping station, controller, distribution manifolds and level sensor that drops into the machine tool sump. In addition to incorporating the latest software, it is said the machines are compatible with a coolant health app that enables users to collect, visualize and track coolant parameters from a smartphone, tablet or desktop.
