Chip and Coolant Management for Machining Automation with Blaser Swisslube and Hennig, Ep #9

In this episode of Lights Out, we explore how cutting-edge coolant technology is transforming manufacturing by enabling efficiency, stability, and sustainability. Tiffany Bryson and Christopher Porsch of Blaser emphasize the need for a repeatable, reliable process, noting that automation hinges on stable coolant systems. 

Scott Cooley, with Hennig, explains how tailored solutions address each customer’s specific materials and machining needs, with advanced filtration systems supporting lights-out operations by maintaining a clean, stable environment.

Blaser’s approach to coolant as a “liquid tool” highlights its importance beyond mere maintenance—coolant is an essential investment in long-term productivity and profitability. Camoren Schley adds that high-pressure systems enhance heat dissipation and extend tool life, further stabilizing production. 

This episode dives into how the right coolant technology can solve key challenges, helping manufacturers optimize processes, reduce downtime, and prepare for continuous, efficient production. Don’t miss it!
