The modular Floormount enclosure design includes the TS8 freestanding cabinet family. The TSFM is ideal for demanding industrial applications. The frame-based design features 14 gauge (2mm) skins which provide rugged protection for electrical equipment in a variety of environmental conditions and applications. The removable skins are all internally fastened for added strength and security. Many applications call for components to be raised off the floor. The TS8 enclosure is ideal for these situations as it features 12" removable floor stands. Also included as standard are zinc galvanized internal mounting panel, sidewalls and comfort handle with a pushbutton insert.

Deublin AutoSense coolant unions for CNC machining centres employ a patent-pending technology that automatically senses the type of media, whether coolant, air or MQL. The unions are engineered for use with the most sophisticated CNC technology, where machines use multiple types of media, at high pressures and speeds up to 60,000 rpm. A proprietary seal design senses the media, and in the presence of pressurized coolant, the seals actuate, operating like a conventional mechanical seal, and transfers coolant to the spindle. In the presence of pressurized air or MQL, the seals operate with a microscopic gap. In addition to automatic sensing, the coolant union design features optimized flow, which prevents deposit of metal chips and dirt, along with bearing protection and wear resistant silicone carbide seals.
