UFM CoolPoint flowmeters for robotic machinery
Upgrades to CoolPoint vortex shedding flowmeters for improved flow accuracy, increased turndown and response-rate adjustability enable use in automated and robotic machinery applications
CoolPoint flowmeters are designed to provide consistent flows of cooling water, water-based machine coolant and water/glycol mixture.
Repeatability is +/-1 percent of actual flow, and accuracy is +/-2 percent of actual flow.
This high repeatability and accuracy provide consistency in cooling loops using low viscosity, clean or dirty water-like liquids compatible with brass, PVDF and Viton.

CoolPoint flowmeters are offered in pipe sizes ranging from 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) to 101.6 mm (4 inches), providing flow rates ranging from 1.5 litres (0.4 US gallon) per minute to 2271 litres (600 US gallons) per minute.
Sizes from 19.0 mm (3/4 inches) to 101.6 mm (4 inches) are available with a temperature transmitter for flow applications involving heat removal.
The CoolPoint flowmeters with temperature transmitters have the added capability of monitoring temperature readings and transmitting them to a process controller.
The meters provide temperature readings ranging from 0C (32F) to 98.8C (210F), which can be expressed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit on the local LED readout.
Totalising capability is a feature of CoolPoint units.
The meters have a scaled pulse output as a standard selectable option.
This scaled pulse output increases their ability to measure, monitor and control the total amount of liquid used in a process.
CoolPoint flowmeters are easy to specify, install and use, according to Erik Rosaen, vice president - sales for Universal Flow Monitors They are electronic meters that have no moving parts to stick or coat.
They are sold by pipe size, and all other features are selectable by pushing buttons on the meter face.
Universal Flow Monitors, located in Hazel Park, Michigan, has manufactured flowmeters for a variety of industries for more than 20 years.
