Clever cooling
Studer revealed its SmartJet concept described as an intelligent cooling system that can save significant amounts of energy and resources and considerably simplify machine operation.
SmartJet can reduce water consumption on grinding machines by 40% and energy consumption by as much as 50%. It uses a clever 3D printed nozzle, sensors, a frequency-controlled pump and ram pressure measuring unit, along with intelligent control software to optimise lubricant delivery to the grinding wheel and workpiece. It helps operators by reducing the time and difficulty associated with manually setting and adjusting nozzles and coolant parameters.
Whether roughing, fine grinding or finishing, SmartJet calculates the best speed and amount of coolant to flow from the nozzle in a consistently reproducible way.
“The jet of coolant is highly precise, coherent, and reproducible. SmartJet sets a new benchmark for effectiveness, process reliability, and efficiency in the industry.
“As a machine manufacturer, we were able to plan and integrate the entire coolant system from start to finish, as well as match all components with each other and optimise them.
The system can also be integrated in the grinding machine’s C.O.R.E control, which is gradually being installed on all United Grinding Group machines of which Studer is a part. C.O.R.E. features a modern, large-scale multitouch display with intuitive operation and numerous visualisation options for more efficient production. It also offers smart networking of several machines and the latest generation of contact sensors.
The SmartJet system has initially been installed on Studer’s S36 machine, as it is intended for high volume production, but it will also be rolled out and become standard on its S31, S33 and S41 models in the coming year.
