"I'm writing you this note to tell you how pleased we are with the addition of the SpiderCools to our 5 vertical machining centers. Prior to their installation we were spending a great deal of time adjusting coolant lines and as a result the machines were frequently in optional stop to accommodate 1 operator running 2 machines. Since their installation we have eliminated this almost entirely. Operators are no longer concerned about having coolant on the tool at the right time and are running the machines at far greater efficiency. In addition we have seen an increase in tool life because now we have coolant in the right spot at all times. Furthermore, with Spider Cool we can now adjust the coolant lines in cycle from outside of the machine. Because of door interlocks we previously had to put the machines in single block or MDI to adjust the lines. As you well know this can be dangerous and often times very messy. Coolant can spray all over the place and I have seen more than 1 operator take a coolant shower in my 25 years."

“I have estimated that our annual savings by adding the SpiderCools will be in the vicinity of $52,000 per annum.”

"This is calculated by assuming that our machine uptime will be 30 minutes more per shift. We currently run 2 shifts giving us a total of 1 hour per day times 5 machines or 5 hours per day or 25 hours per week. Assuming an hourly rate of $40.00 per hour this provides a return of $1000.00 per week or $52,000 per year.  This is a very conservative estimate and does not include improved tool life or intangibles like operator satisfaction, improved quality, and less mess. Given this calculation the payback for our spider cool is less than 3 months. For us this was an easy decision! and our operators and set-up personnel are very happy that we made it."
