In the world of metal processing, cooling and lubrication are key components in achieving optimal performance. The use of emulsion and oil is common practice to keep the metal workpieces cool and lubricated, while also removing chips from the work point. However, the efficiency of the coolant and lubricant is highly dependent on the way it is applied to the metal workpiece. That’s where SmartJet™ comes in.

SmartJet™ is the perfect tool used for optimizing the application of coolant and lubricant in metal processing machines. By combining coolant pressure and air pressure in an optimal way, SmartJet™ improves the metal processing performance, making the process more efficient and effective.

However, to use the SmartJet™ effectively, it is important to tune the flow of the coolant through the conical valve first. Only after tuning the coolant flow should air pressure be added and tuned to focus the coolant flow and reduce the amount of fog produced.

To begin with, it is important to understand the function of the coolant in metal processing. The coolant serves to reduce the heat generated during the metal processing process. Heat generated during metal processing can cause damage to the workpiece, tooling, and machine. Moreover, it can affect the quality of the end product. Therefore, coolant is applied to the workpiece to reduce the temperature and protect it from damage.

The coolant is also used to lubricate the workpiece and tooling. This helps to reduce friction and wear, thereby increasing tool life and improving the quality of the end product. Additionally, the coolant helps to remove chips from the work point, which can clog the machine and affect the quality of the end product.

SmartJet™ optimizes the application of coolant by combining coolant pressure and air pressure in a way that focuses the coolant flow and reduces the amount of fog produced. The conical valve in SmartJet™ plays a critical role in tuning the flow of the coolant. By adjusting the valve, the flow rate and pressure of the coolant can be optimized for the specific metal processing application.

Once the flow of the coolant has been tuned, the air pressure can be added and tuned to optimize the application of coolant. The air pressure helps to focus the coolant flow and reduce the amount of fog produced. This is important because fog can reduce visibility, affecting the ability of operators to monitor the metal processing process. Moreover, fog can cause safety hazards in the workplace.

The direction of the coolant and air can be adjusted to achieve the desired result. This may involve adjusting the angle and distance of the SmartJet™ from the workpiece. It may also involve adjusting the air pressure to optimize the flow of the coolant.

It is important to note that the SmartJet™ is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The optimal settings for the SmartJet™ will vary depending on the specific metal processing application. Therefore, it is important to test and adjust the settings of the SmartJet™ to achieve the desired result.

 

 

In conclusion, the SmartJet™ is an important tool for optimizing the application of coolant and lubricant in metal processing machines. By combining coolant pressure and air pressure in an optimal way, SmartJet™ improves the metal processing performance, making the process more efficient and effective. However, to use the SmartJet™ effectively, it is important to tune the flow of the coolant through the conical valve first, and then add and tune the air pressure to focus the coolant flow and reduce the amount of fog produced. By doing so, metal processing operators can achieve optimal performance and improve the quality of the end product.
