A Novel Cutting Fluids Performance Assurance System for CNC Machine Tools

In the CNC machine tool industry, cutting fluid is a crucial component of the machining process. Nevertheless, as the duration of cutting fluid use increases, its performance progressively deteriorates, presenting a significant challenge that necessitates resolution. This study introduces an innovative intelligent monitoring system designed to optimize the preparation of cutting fluid in CNC machine tools. The aim is to extend the fluid’s service life, mitigate tool wear, and address issues arising from fluid degradation. The system integrates a heating plate, sensors, pumping motors, and embedded systems to monitor and manage the cutting fluid effectively. Testing was conducted using a customdesigned container, and data analysis identified the optimal supply strategy, thereby extending the usable lifespan of the cutting fluid. This system enhances production longevity and allows for the configuration of containers with appropriate capacities based on specific requirements, ensuring consistent and high-quality production.
