Shops using CNC machining benefit greatly from monitoring spindle transmission oil as it aids in the optimization of the machine’s operation. With low level indication, the operator is notified that the transmission oil needs to be replenished. This is important because without proper transmission oil level the potential damage to the machine is greatly increased.

In this application a level sensor with simple installation but reliable service is a must.  The challenge is repeatable indication without false positives to prevent unnecessary machine damage and downtime.
