Unist’s Pulse R electronic control is said to make minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) system adjustments simpler and more accurate. It is backwards compatible with new and existing 24VDC Coolubricator, Saw Blade Lube and Serv-O-Spray MQL systems. The Pulse R ties into the system control’s solenoid valve and takes the place of a pneumatic pulse generator timer or logic block.
It is said the control’s simple, two-button interface makes adjustment easy, while an easy-to-read display helps operators maintain accuracy and consistency between jobs. The Pulse R control is equipped with fault monitoring and visual feedback of output and input status, giving operators confidence that the MQL system is performing properly.
Four operating modes enable the control to deliver either continuous output or intermittent output with one or multiple ‘shots’ of fluid, and enable the actuation on either powerup or from an input trigger signal. Pulse R also includes a locking feature to prevent tampering.
