Coolant monitoring on a cam shaft grinding machine
Requirement
Grinding is an important step in the production of cam shafts. The surface quality achieved here is decisive for the quality of the shafts. To assure a consistently high precision during the grinding process, coolant emulsion must be permanently supplied.
Implementation
In the supply pipe of the plant, the flow of the emulsion is monitored using a type SI5000 flow sensor. If the coolant supply is interrupted, the grinding process is stopped.
Customer benefits
Due to the permanent monitoring of the emulsion, the high processing quality of the cam shafts is ensured and the uptime of the grinding disks is increased.
