IMTS 2024: FullShop Gen 3 Provides Affordable Coolant Automation

Sept. 25, 2024
168 Manufacturing has reengineered its FullShop automated coolant management system, launching the FullShop Gen 3 that delivers new fluid architecture for best-in-class performance.

Reengineered, FullShop Gen 3 solutions makes coolant automation more affordable and easier to install. Built on years of real-world experience and market feedback, Gen 3 uses modern software and electronics, plus a new fluid architecture, to deliver best-in-class value, performance, and simplicity.

FullShop Gen 3 features a small wireless Sensor Valve Interface (SVI) that connects to sensors in the machine sump to monitor coolant temperature, level, and concentration. These devices transmit that data back and forth to a Digital Feed Unit (DFU). Using coolant condition data from the SVI and instructions from the FullShop App, this compact, powerful and smart pump monitors water and pumps coolant at precise flow rates so any top-off ratio from 0.5 to 20% can be sent into the CNC sumps to hit target concentrations.

Software defines target tank levels and concentrations for each CNC machine. Mixing manifolds near each machine combine this coolant with water from a supply line that runs in parallel with the coolant line. Coolant leaves the manifold and arrives at each sump at the machine-specific top-off concentration. From there, users can use the FullShop App as a hub for coolant trends, notifications and more.

FullShop Gen 3's simplified fluid architecture makes system expansion easy, enhances dosing precision and is easy to install for plant personnel. To expand, users simply add more manifolds and piping to extend Gen 3 throughout their plant. FullShop systems use common piping and standard plumbing fittings for easy installation.

Once released, FullShop Gen 3 will be available as a subscription service, offering a compelling return on investment (ROI) right out of the box.
