High-Pressure Coolant Systems Designed for Maximum Efficiency and Usability

The IEMCA high-pressure coolant unit has been designed to meet the needs of end users, using high-quality components and advanced technologies.

The main goal is to maximize the productivity and profitability of the installation through the use of high-pressure coolant for sliding headstock turning operations, considering the operator’s daily needs, such as time-saving, simplified maintenance operations, and an optimized and functional organization of the workspace.

IEMCA high-pressure coolant systems are designed based on four key principles: perfect integration with the bar feeder, simplified maintenance, maximum flexibility, and energy consumption control and reduction.

Perfect Integration with the Bar Feeder

Perfect integration with the bar feeder is one of the key principles in the design of the high-pressure coolant system. IEMCA’s plug & play solution is compact and perfectly sized for installation under the bar feeder, with a neat layout of tubes and cables. The reduced footprint and optimized workshop space management ensure a cleaner, tidier, and more functional workspace.

The integrated approach extends to the control and monitoring of the high-pressure unit’s operating status through a dedicated section on the bar feeder’s operator panel, ensuring greater simplicity and ease of use.

Simplified Maintenance

Great attention has been given to maintenance aspects, with the aim of optimizing functionality to ease and minimize operator interventions. This results in a drastic reduction in interruptions and unproductive times, enhancing efficiency and profitability.

The IEMCA high-pressure unit uses cartridge filters with a large surface area, offering extended life and easy replacement. The system’s longevity is improved while reducing the frequency and effort required for maintenance.

The unit is fully equipped with sensors, autonomously monitoring the filter status and notifying the operator via the operator panel when cleaning or replacement is needed. This eliminates the need for manual checks and prevents unexpected breakdowns, ensuring continuous and efficient operation.

The system is also equipped with a large tank to collect filtered and clean coolant, ready to be reintroduced into the high-pressure circuit. Thanks to the clean tank, maintenance and cleaning operations required by the operator are further minimized.

Maximum Flexibility

The integrated clean tank in the high-pressure unit offers numerous advantages, including the constant availability of filtered fluid. IEMCA has taken the system’s flexibility to its highest expression: the coolant is constantly pressurized within the unit, ready to be recirculated and immediately used when required by the work cycle. This avoids long waits and energy waste.

Furthermore, the output pressures can be adjusted according to the specific needs of each lathe tool, ensuring maximum adaptability.

The IEMCA high-pressure system has been positively received by the market, as demonstrated by numerous installations in Italy and worldwide. The unit can be installed in combination with all IEMCA bar feeders for sliding headstock lathes: the Elite and Boss ranges, as well as the Smart 320 model.

This is just the beginning for IEMCA: the range of high-pressure coolant systems is continuously evolving and expanding. Not only is there ongoing work to further reduce and optimize energy consumption, but products are also being developed for fluid filtration with varying degrees of contamination, to meet every machining need.
