 The SpiderCool system is a programmable coolant nozzle
that automatically aims a higher volume coolant stream at the cutting edge
of every tool, regardless of length, loaded into the spindle of any vertical
or horizontal machining center by the tool changer. We refer to the system
as "programmable," but "teachable" is a more descriptive term because the
nozzle positions are actually set and memorized by using the servo
adjustment knob (below) conveniently located on the machine's control
panel. "G Codes" or "M Codes" are not used. |
How do you program
SpiderCool?
The machinist simply “teaches” SpiderCool by turning the adjustment knob to
precisely aim the coolant stream. This is done once for each tool in the
machine. From that point on, coolant adjustment is automatic. There are no
M-Codes to write into your program, and adjustments can be made and
re-memorized at any time during the machining cycle. |
