Recently came across a CNC machine running with small amount of coolant discharge from the pump
Checked and found
a) Pump is too small , only about the size of a coffee cup and how much the flow we can expect ?
b) pump running on wrong rotation
c) although it may seem ro be alright , but lack of coolant accelerate the wear and damages of the tools
and these tools can be expensive
The point here , is machine makers or users failed to understand " quantity or flow in case " must be
right in any application
Suggestion : since there are few discharge nozzles around the millling tools and only one nozzle is discharging
coolant .the pump is definitely undersize .Determine the flow required from the manual or from
the pump at another machine which is big and performing . Replace the pump
