Cooling Lubricant Sensor

The iCS2 CL inline sensor has been specially developed for the reliable monitoring of cooling lubricants and cutting oils. The fluid concentration sensor continuously and precisely measures the concentration directly in the running process – without any interruption for manual checking of the samples. It therefore makes a decisive contribution to significantly reducing the risk of damage to cutting tools and products. Thanks to its compact design, the sensor can be quickly and easily integrated into existing systems. Even when heavily soiled, the iCS2 CL delivers stable measured values without the need for cleaning. Its exceptional robustness and freedom from maintenance make it the ideal solution for demanding industrial applications. Small and reliable – the iCS2 CL ensures maximum process reliability and consistently high quality when machining various materials with cooling lubricants and cutting oils.

Checkpoints

  • Compact, lightweight design – ideal for tight installation spaces and modern process environments
  • Simple, flexible and cost-effective integration and implementation in your process
  • Exceptional robustness against ambient light and contamination – works reliably without the need for cleaning
  • Long-proven technology, particularly effective for real-time measurement of the concentration and temperature of cutting oils, cutting fluids and cooling lubricants as well as separate coolants and lubricants.
  • Reduction of damage to cutting tools and cutting tools

Easy to Use

SCHMIDT + HAENSCH has the ultimate solution for you if you are dealing with heavily contaminated liquids, space-limited installations or exposure to ambient light: designed for easy integration into your process control system, it can be connected directly to your PLC via an RS485 Modbus RTU interface. Integrated functions such as temperature measurement and level detection ensure a self-monitoring system. The sensor can also be used to control solenoid valves for direct dosing of cutting oils. Our user-friendly software for data acquisition and configuration of the device is also included in the scope of delivery.

Applications

The iCS2 CL sensor has been specially developed for reliable, maintenance-free quality control of the concentration monitoring of cutting oils, lubricating oils and cooling lubricants in space-critical environments. The main purpose of these metalworking fluids is to guarantee optimum cooling and lubrication of cutting tools and polishing machines during the machining of various materials and to prevent damage to the product and cutting tools. Controlling the concentration is therefore important to ensure a high and consistent quality of the parts produced. This is particularly relevant in the electronic, mechanical and optical industries as well as for the automotive and mechanical engineering industries. Its robust design and large measuring surface ensure precise measurement results even under demanding conditions. The sensor is virtually maintenance-free and is fully optimized for use in media containing cooling lubricants. This makes the iCS2 CL the ideal solution for anyone looking for long-term process reliability, minimum operating costs and maximum assurance of product quality – compact in form, powerful in performance.
