Trial System Showcases Minimum Lubrication

The Bielomatik MQL system replaces traditional ‘flood-type’ lubrication, lubricating the workpiece with a very fine, precisely controlled mist of coolant. Bielomatik is introducing a trial kit which enables companies to try before they buy Bielomatik minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) technology cuts cycle times and improves product finishes.

There are also direct, ongoing financial savings since there is a dramatic reduction in the amount of cutting oil required and the disposal cost of discarded metal is lower since it is virtually oil-free. The system replaces traditional ‘flood-type’ lubrication, lubricating the workpiece with a very fine, precisely controlled mist of coolant.

The new trial unit comprises a single-channel MQL system and comes complete with ball valve, hoses and nozzles, everything that is needed to connect to a machine. MQL systems require that the tooling and spindle have through-holes, since this is where the lubricant has to pass. Bielomatik engineers will assist in the setup of the trial kit to optimise it for each particular machining application.
