Programmable coolant system

To enhance tool life, machining performance, surface finishes and even prolong the life of the fluid, the VARIO-Jet guarantees that coolant is always directed at the cutting area. The VARIO-Jet can be retro-fitted to any machine tool with a tool offset. As standard, the VARIO-Jet is available with 20bar pressure and an optional system is offered with 80bar. 

The VARIO-Jet has a data exchange system that operates via the tool offset RS232 or through a similar interface on the CNC control. With a brushless DC motor and encoder, the VARIO-Jet is a maintenance-free system that is available with a complete line of replaceable flat or circular coolant nozzles. The nozzles can rotate at up to 35°, so coolant is optimally delivered to the cutting edge of tools of all lengths and diameters. 

Only requiring a ‘one-time’ input of the parameters to complete the setup operation, the VARIO-Jet can also be activated via Wi-Fi through a web browser or App that is compatible with smart-phones, tablets, laptops or PCs. The connection thread for the coolant is programmable through G1 codes and the Wi-Fi has a WPA2 encryption system for added security. Connected to the machine tool with a 230V AC power supply, the energy efficient system has a power consumption of just 50W. 

The easily retro-fitted system includes an 85 by 70mm by 100mm unit that can be fitted anywhere in the machine envelope. With the central unit is a VARIO-Jet nozzle with a 3.2mm diameter outlet, a special stainless steel holder, an IP65 rated control cabinet, a 2m hose set with up to 20bar pressure, a pre-assembled 15m long data cable, a 3m long 230V connection cable and an installation and operation manual.
