A machine tool coolant supply system includes a chassis configured to mount the coolant supply system to a coolant storage tank of a machine tool. The coolant supply system further includes a concentrate tank arranged within the chassis, a first flow control valve coupled to the concentrate tank, a second flow control valve coupled to a water supply line, and a mixer configured to mix a concentrate with water. The mixer includes a first inlet coupled to the first flow control valve and configured to receive the concentrate from the concentrate tank via the first flow control valve, a second inlet coupled to the second flow control valve and configured to receive the water from the water supply line via the second flow control valve, and an outlet configured to dispense a mixture of the concentrate and the water into the coolant storage tank of the machine tool. The coolant supply system further includes a control line arranged in electrical communication with the first flow control valve and the second flow control valve, wherein the control line is configured to communicate control signals from a machine tool control system to actuate the first flow control valve and the second flow control valve to control a ratio of the concentrate and the water supplied to the mixer.
