Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a smart device facilitating coolant delivery in a CNC machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to a smart device that allows delivery of a coolant to the cutting zone in Gang Tooling type CNC machine.
- CNC lathe machines are widely used for manufacturing parts or components, since these machines automate the manufacturing process by implementing computer generated design and directives. Minimizing the human control and supervision, CNC machines are faster and efficient to use.
- To execute more than one tooling functions in a CNC lathe machine ‘gang tooling’ methods are being utilized; where multiple tools are mounted on toolplate, which in turn is mounted on the cross slide (X axis of CNC Lathe). Continuous working of the tools produces heat that may hamper the tool productivity and life, and also part quality.
- coolant delivery systems are also equipped with the gang tooling on CNC lathe machines to cool off the working or machining zones. Another advantage of delivering a coolant around the working zones is chip removal and reducing any complications occurring from chip clogging.

Abstract
Selon des modes de réalisation, la présente invention concerne un dispositif intelligent de distribution d'agent de refroidissement sous la forme d'un bloc intelligent, le bloc intelligent comportant un ou plusieurs canaux internes de transfert d'agent de refroidissement intégrés en son sein. Du fait que l'agent de refroidissement s'écoule à travers les canaux internes du bloc intelligent en vue d'atteindre la zone de travail, la présente invention évite le montage de tuyaux de connexion externe quelconques pour distribuer ultérieurement l'agent de refroidissement à la zone de travail. Par conséquent, la présente invention empêche également une obstruction par copeaux et tout endommagement provoqué par les dispositifs de distribution d'agent de refroidissement dû aux copeaux. De plus, le bloc intelligent empêche une fuite de l'agent de refroidissement. Ce dernier permet également l'utilisation d'un agent de refroidissement à pression élevée comportant de nombreux effets bénéfiques, notamment une augmentation de la durée de vie de l'outil et une augmentation des paramètres d'usinage.
