Hi guys, facing a bit of a problem here. Please see the system layout here : https://imgur.com/a/6d4XWxj#nZbOKG1
I've connected an eductor to the coolant pump in my machine. This eductor sucks the leaked cutting fluid from a tray underneath the machine I.e coolant passes through the...
Hello, I have borrowed a Freddy Vacuum Cleaning System from a friend since I wanted to use it on my CNC. We used it for removing the floating hydraulic oil from the coolant surface but it also sucks a lot of good coolant.
We then started looking for Freddy videos and found this -...
Hello,
Thinking of building a pilot project for one of my customers wherein I install simple flow sensors on multiple machines and connect their outputs to an IIOT gateway. Now the issue is that because of budget restrictions, I can only afford very basic flow sensors meant for water (the hall...
Hello, was wondering if I could pass compressed air through a venturi pump to pull floating oil from a tank? If yes, how do I control the eventual mixing of oil with the air from the outlet end?
The requirement is given to me by one of my clients who wants an easy, and low-cost solution to...
Hello guys,
I am supplying a Venturi Vac to my clients which is installed directly on their CNC Machine Coolant Pumps (photo attached).
This is done by introducing a Tee connection on the discharge end of the pump as shown. The straight line of the tee is connected to the hydraulic coolant...
Hey guys, I have built a Compressed air venturi operated Drum Pump for my garage. The system consists of a horizontal venturi tube with a pipe (shut-off tube) that is inserted into the Drum. Turning on the venturi creates vacuum in the drum and thus liquid is sucked from outside and is collected...
Hello,
We make a Venturi vacuum system for recovering CNC coolant from the swarf trolley. It is a simple arrangement consisting of a venturi tube tee'd off the coolant pump and a stand-off placed at the bottom of the swarf trolley with a filter disc.
Now the problem with this system is that it...
Hello guys,
I was wondering if you can control the flow-rate of the motive liquid & the suction liquid by using proportioning valves for both liquids to achieve the desired concentration?
For eg.. I have a venturi mixer, in which the motive liquid is water which is fed under gravity and the...
Hey guys, we've been tasked with providing solutions for reducing coolant consumption by our client using automation. One of those is a system to reclaim the coolant dripped off of the chips from a Chip Trolley in a CNC Machine. Around 15-20 Litres of coolant+water emulsion is wasted everyday...
Hello guys, I am looking to control the flowrate of water through a Solenoid Valve in a continuous closed-loop process.
I inquired about Proportional Flow Solenoid Valves and these are a little too expensive and only a handful of manufacturers are supplying those.
But I looked online for some...
Guys,
I hope you guys are keeping well.
I have been working on developing a Compact Dispensing Station for my CNC Machine & Parts Washer where coolant is mixed with water in different concentrations & volumes as per the requirement which will vary on a day-to-day basis (not the concentration...
Hello,
I am interested in knowing if a single-step wastewater clarifier/reclaimer can be made for used Parts Washer effluent. References can be found here :-

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way to control the opening of a valve as per feedback from an upstream flow meter. I have a motorized proportioning ball valve, but it takes about 10-15 seconds to complete it's rotation (one-way).
I need to find a way to expedite this so was wondering if there are...
Hello,
This is for a new product I am designing, which involves topping-up or refilling the liquid into a CNC Machine or Part Washer.
I have to mix about a Litre of the chemical (alkaline.. pH in the range of 8-12) with about 50 Litres of water. The water will be fed under gravity through a 1"...
Hello guys,
I am building a small prototype for a Coolant Dispensing System and need to measure the flow rate of water & chemical in the pipe in order to control the opening of valves downstream.
Since I am building a small pilot system, I can't really spend too much money and hence I intend...
Hello guys,
This is my first post here and I'm really looking forward to receiving some valuable inputs from you guys.
I have been trying to design an automatic fluid dispensing or make-up system for my CNC machine. A Level transmitter will be fitted to my sump and I will use a refractometer...
