Typically, milling machines and machine centers employ emulsion as a coolant during machining, consisting primarily of treated water with small oil and additive proportions. Water serves to dissipate the heat generated during metal cutting, while oils and additives prevent corrosion and maintain emulsion quality over time by deterring bacterial growth and pests.

Certain machines, such as Swiss Type machines, utilize only oil for cooling. Oil provides superior corrosion protection, lubricates the cutting point, and significantly enhances performance. However, compared to emulsion, oil is less efficient in heat transport and can create oil vapor clouds.

Our SmartJet™ facilitate the integration of unique cooling solutions for machines using emulsion or oil for cooling and lubrication of the cutting point. To enhance cooling performance in machines with insufficient emulsion or oil pressure, our smart Jets can combine coolant with air pressure.

The SmartJet™ propels air pressure at high velocity (exceeding 340 meters per second), optimizing the relationship between air and liquid speeds to leverage their respective benefits. Variations in density and viscosity between oil and emulsion account for differences in their performance.

For applications employing emulsion, optimal integration involves directing air from the center of the SmartJet™ with emulsion wrapping around it. Conversely, due to oil’s lower density and higher viscosity, it tends to spread more easily. In such cases, it’s advisable to connect the oil and air in an inverted manner, allowing oil to emerge from the center of the SmartJet™ with air surrounding it, resulting in a more efficient beam while working with oil.

We invite customers to experiment with various connections to achieve the best results.
