ChipBLASTER, Inc. 24
12.0. OPERATION (Cont.):
12.2.4. The RETURN (TRANSFER) PUMP is a separate system but is very important.
It must maintain the levels of the coolant in the ChipBLASTER’s coolant tank
and the machining center’s coolant tank. The return pump returns coolant from
the machining center’s sump to the ChipBLASTER’s coolant tank. The float
assembly in the ChipBLASTER’s coolant tank will maintain all coolant levels
including the machining center’s sump.
12.2.5. If the ChipBLASTER is to operated from a CENTRAL COOLANT SUPPLY
the ChipBLASTER will be supplied with a fill solenoid valve and regulator in
place of a return pump. The fill solenoid will operate based on the float
assembly in the ChipBLASTER’s coolant tank and will maintain the tank coolant
level. The central supply system must be capable of supplying at least 1.5 times
the flow rate of the ChipBLASTER model being used. The supply pressure
should be in the range of 20 to 30 PSIG (1.4 to 2 bar) The maximum particle size
should not exceed 100 micron.
12.2.6. LOW PRESSURE FLOOD is a factory installed feature. It is designed to be
used to supply filtered coolant at 5 gpm (18.9 liters/minute) 35 psig (2.4bar)
maximum. The flow and pressure is dependent on orifice diameter. The low
pressure flood is controlled by a separate maintained “M” code from the machine
tool. The low pressure, as supplied from the factory, is available at coolant outlet
number 1 and/or 2, depending on ChipBLASTER model. The low pressure flood
is used to flush parts, tool plates and general chip clearing.
NOTE: If the low pressure flood coolant is in use; high pressure coolant is
not available.
12.2.7. HIGH / LOW PRESSURE is available as a factory option if high pressure
coolant is required from one coolant outlet and low pressure flood coolant is
required from the other coolant outlet at the same time. The low pressure coolant
as supplied from the factory is available, as standard, on coolant outlet number 1.
NOTE: If HIGH/LOW PRESSURE is required for both coolant outlets a second
HIGH/LOW PRESSURE option must be purchased. The low pressure is designed
to be used to supply filtered coolant at 5 gpm (18.9 liters/minute) 35 psig (2.4bar)
maximum. The flow and pressure is dependent on orifice diameter. The low
pressure flood is controlled by a separate maintained “M” code from the machine
tool.
12.2.8. LOW PRESSURE HOSE WASH DOWN is also available as an option to
provide low pressure filtered coolant through a 20’-0” (6 meter)“garden” hose.
Refer to SECTION 27.19 for a complete description of this option.
