    Designing an Automatic Coolant Monitoring System for CNC Machines

    An AOD pump = Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pump - This pump can be deadheaded to provide a constant pressurized clean return header. A smart outlet is an outlet that can be controlled by an App on your phone or smart device via WiFi. An example is GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Receptacle...

    Designing an Automatic Coolant Monitoring System for CNC Machines

    The one pump at the central reservoir is an AOD pump that is "always on" so it will keep the clean supply header pressurized. At each sump, I am using a Normally Open air controlled level switch that is connected to an automatic ball valve that will be connected to the clean supply drop. The...

    Designing an Automatic Coolant Monitoring System for CNC Machines

    Hello. Jumping in on this discussion, hopefully not being intrusive. I am designing the exact system that you have described. However, in my case, the coolant concentration at 15 different machine sumps is all the same. I am proposing the installation of an overhead clean supply and dirty...
