Measuring the concentration of your cutting oil/coolants

Atago in-line refractometers get the most out of your coolants, while reducing your worker’s responsibilities. Their time can be redirected somewhere else, as they no longer need to spend that time checking concentration. Some models even feature a HIGH and LOW limit, letting you know when to add more cutting oil.

Concentration Control

Concentration is one of the most important variables to control. Too low of a concentration promotes corrosion and bacterial formation.

While too high of a concentration, means you’re not only using up unnecessary cutting oil, but it can also cause skin irritation and foaming.

Continuously measure water-soluble cutting oil, cleaning solution, mold release agent, quenching oil, etc.

Looking ahead to the IoT era, Atago developed a compact inline refractometer that can be installed anywhere.
It has already been implemented by many customers, including automotive manufacturers.
It is possible to continuously measure water-soluble cutting oil, cleaning solution, mold release agent, quenching oil, etc.

  1. Attached to cutting/milling machines, it continuously monitors changes in the concentration (Brix) of water-soluble cutting oil and other samples in real time.
  2. Compact and Easy Installation. Easy to set up unit that begins measurements as soon as it is powered on. With a durable sapphire prism, it is safe even from things like flowing metal powder.
  3. Choose from recorder output (4-20mA) or serial output (RS-232C) for data output. Temperature control is also possible with the serail output (RS-232C).
  4. Known as a "Smart Manufacturing Tool" for small, medium, and large-sized manufacturers.

Advantages of ATAGO refraction/Brix measurements of coolants/cutting oils

  • Reliable performance in your forming processes
  • Effective protection against corrosion
  • Longer service life of lubricated parts
  • Better management of your staff's time: they can spend the time they normally spend managing concentration elsewhere
  • Reduces waste: ATAGO in-line refractometers get the most out of your coolants.
  • Some models even have a HIGH and LOW limit so you know exactly when to add more cutting oil.
