CNC Surge Protectors
Safeguard your valuable equipment from dirty power. Our three-phase surge protectors are designed for spindle regeneration loads and support multiple voltage applications, backed by a 25-year warranty.
Battery Exchanges
CNC machine battery pack used for control memory backup and preventive maintenance to prevent data loss and machine downtime.
Mist Collection
Keep your shop air clean and safe for your team. Our CNC mist collectors are available in multiple sizes and configurations to suit your specific application, ensuring a healthier environment and cleaner surfaces.
Oil Separators
Maintain coolant quality and reduce disposal costs with magnetic, portable coolant oil separators that efficiently remove tramp oil from your coolant tank, featuring clear visual indicators to indicate when they are working.
Oil & Coolant Supply
High pressure coolant system delivering targeted coolant flow during CNC machining to improve chip evacuation and increase productivity in CNC operations.
Coolant Debris Filtering Systems
Prevent clogged lines and poor surface finishes. Coolant filtration systems work seamlessly with your chip conveyor to capture fine chips and debris, filtering down to 3µm for cleaner coolant and better part quality.
High Pressure Coolant System
Boost tool life and break chips faster. High pressure systems deliver powerful, targeted coolant right to the cutting edge, improving chip evacuation and allowing you to run faster cycle times.
CNC Machine Calibration & Axis Adjustment Tools
Ensure peak accuracy and tight tolerances. We offer ball bar, vibration, laser and thermal testing to detect issues early and align your axes before they cause scrap parts.
CNC LED Work Lights
Improve visibility and inspection quality inside the machine. These durable, energy-efficient LED upgrades and plug-in power supplies brighten your workspace, allowing operators to see exactly what is happening.
CNC Washdown Systems
Keep work areas clean with less effort. Our modular chips and coolant wash systems feature adjustable nozzles, external guns or pump-fed setups designed for fast, efficient cleanup.
Frequently Asked Questions: Productivity Solutions
Accessories like chip conveyors and washdown systems automate manual cleaning tasks that usually require stopping the machine. Additionally, protective gear like surge protectors and air filters prevents electrical failures and overheating, which are common causes of unplanned service calls.
Yes, many of our solutions are designed to be retrofitted onto existing equipment. For example, upgrades like LED light kits and mist collectors are often plug-and-play or require minimal integration. Contact our team to check compatibility with your specific make and model.
Dirty coolant can destroy tool life and ruin surface finishes, leading to scrap parts. By using oil separators and debris filtering systems, you extend the life of your coolant and your cutting tools. This means fewer tool changes and less money spent on fluid disposal.
Absolutely. Hartwig is a full-service provider. Our local service engineers can help install and integrate complex accessories, ranging from high-pressure coolant systems to chip conveyors, ensuring they work perfectly with your machine from day one.
Industrial power can be unpredictable. If your facility experiences storms, power fluctuations or uses heavy equipment that cycles on and off, your CNC machine’s sensitive electronics are at risk. A dedicated surge protector is a low-cost insurance policy against expensive board replacements.
