I'm going to build a high pressure coolant system for a lathe as the pump that came with it only delivers 5-7bar.
Anyway: I am going to run a Knoll KTS 25-60 pump with a 5.5KW motor which should give me 70bar or 1000psi.
I am going to have quite a few questions regarding the electrics and control system I am sure.
For now I wonder about pressure regulation/limiting. The current plan is to run a valve like this: SPB-H 15 | Pressure Control Valves | muller co-ax ag(R)
The question is: How do I get the M-codes from the lathe to control that valve ?
An alternative solution is to run a closed loop pressure control with a VFD on the motor. I don't know if that will react fast enough or how complicated it will be though ?
Running a VFD at fixed speeds for given coolant pressures probably won't work because of different flow of different tools.
This will be an ongoing thread until the project is done.
