LNS says its Chipblaster S-Series coolant systems are designed to improve CNC machine performance, take up less floor space, and are easy to install and maintain.
The series is available in fixed- or variable-rate (flow and pressure) models. The variable-rate units have tool interfaces that provide independent control of 1, 4 or 8 coolant options, depending on the number of installed coolant-enabled tools. Fixed-flow units have one coolant outlet.
A dual-cartridge filtration system that filters to 10 or 5 microns is standard on fixed-flow model S-30 and variable-flow models SBV-70 and SBV-140. It is said changing filters is quick and easy, while the unit continues to operate without interrupting production. The S-30H fixed-flow model has a maintenance-free cyclone filter that requires no media change and filters coolant to 2 microns, the company says.
It is said the variable-flow models have a user-friendly HMI that enables easy adjustment of preset pressure values, changes to settings and monitoring of various operations. Multidirectional casters are said to enable easy installation and maintenance.
