Data-based monitoring of cooling lubricant

Ensuring the right chemistry during grinding

Data-based cooling lubricant monitoring makes grinding more stable and efficient: sensor data on emulsion health, grinding forces and spindle power enables requirement-based fluid supply, supports digital twins and can cut energy use by up to 27 percent. At Grindinghub 2026 in Stuttgart, visitors will learn how Umati and OPC UA connectivity helps integrate these data streams for higher surface quality and fewer rejects.
