unit is equipped with a long 2" (51-mm) diameter hose and aluminum angled crevice tool for sucking up the bulk of the chips in the sump. Solids are trapped in a 50-µm polyester bag and the coolant returns to the sump for continuous opera- tion of the machine tool.
In step two, the operator selects Filtration Mode from the dashboard controls. The suction hose of the air- operated diaphragm pump is positioned in the machine tool sump while the dis- charge hose from high-speed centrifuge and/or tramp oil coalescer is directed back to the machine tool sump. The recommended positioning of the hoses maximizes the turbulence and sump “scrubbing” action to re-suspend settled solids for suction collection. The coolant continuously recirculates to the sump during the filtration mode to provide uninterrupted machine tool operation. Once the filtration mode is in operation, the operator is free to con- duct other activities until the filtration mode is complete.
Step three is the Coolant Makeup Mode. After running the filtration mode for a predetermined amount of time, the operator will check the coolant concentration level with the on-board digital refractometer. The operator then selects Coolant Makeup Mode from the dashboard controls and selects lean, standard, or rich settings for topping up the sump with the proper coolant concentrate mix.
Once the sump tank reaches the desired concentration level, the process is complete. The operator disconnects the SumpDoc and moves on to the next machine tool sump or parts washer to be cleaned. Onboard storage containers include a coolant concentrate/chemical tank, tramp oil and centrifuge backwash tanks. All tanks include discharge or cleanout pumps for ease of dispensing or
removing content through simple touch screen controls on the SumpDoc dashboard. ME

HOWTO MAKE YOUR MACHINE WORK SMARTER
Automate my fixture and part set-ups. Verify the correct tool is in the spindle.
Confirm my machine’s calibration status.
Measure and compensate cutter length and diameter at working RPM.
Stop my machine in milliseconds in case of a crash.
Measure critical part dimensions and geometries without moving the part to a CMM.
Only one gaging company can supply a cost-efficient suite of spindle touch probes, laser tool setters, on-machine measurement and verification software, crash sensor, tool,machine and process monitoring technology, then take total responsibility for integrating the components and ensuring your successful application— MARPOSS. You can have confidence that all the pieces of the puzzle will come together. And finger-pointing will be a thing of the past.
