Are you having trouble with the adhesion of machining chips?

Damage to the workpieceMachining precision errorDamage to blades, tools, or other partsMachining down time to remove machining dust and chips

Attaching the Wavy Nozzle,
Improves machining dust and chip removal efficiency and resolves all kinds of problems!

Features

The Wavy Nozzle is a device capable of spraying water and oil-based cutting fluids at an arbitrary fixed angle or by a reciprocating motion of the spray nozzle. (JIS N1- to N3-type oil-based and A1, A2 water-based cutting fluids are recommended.)
The unit efficiently removes machining dust and chips, resulting in the reduction of machining precision errors and damage to blades and tools as well as to the work piece caused by the adhesion of cutting chips.

Functions

  • 3 operation patterns optimized for removing machining dust and chips are available
    • (1) FIX mode (operated at an arbitrary fixed angle)
    • (2) SWEEP mode (operated by a reciprocating motion of the nozzle with constant speed)
    • (3) KICK mode (operated by a reciprocating motion of the nozzle with variable speed)
  • Storing and calling up 99 motion pattern settings
    * Up to 31 pattern settings can be called up with the M-code.
  • Linked with the processing machine
  • Error detection function

Benefits of Wavy Nozzle

  1. Reduction of the machine stop frequency for removing chips.
  2. Yield improvement in the visual inspection since the scratch of the product is reduced.
  3. Elimination of damage to the rear machining chuck by jamming chips.
  4. Reduction of work to remove the chips by hand after the processing.
  5. Improvement of tool life.

Dedicated controller

Easy operation with a controller. just necessary to use it when you set up operation patterns, positioning angle and speed.

Once the installation is completed, the Wavy Nozzle will operate by itself without a controller.
