Add coolant gun to Mazak?

Hey everyone, on our new Mazak VCN 510 we want to add an external coolant gun to wash down the chips from the walls of the machines. So im inquiring on how to do this and if anyone else has done this as well.

One problem we already thought about is being able to turn coolant on while the doors are open.

Please let me know if you have any insight on how to get this project done. thanks guys!

Plumb a garden hose into the ouput side of the coolant pump on a Y with a valve. Disable/bypass the door interlock. Turn coolant on. Wash down.
