AUTOMATED MQL FOR MACHINING CENTERS

ITW ROCOL® North America's SpiderCool combined with Accu-Lube technology allows CNC machining center applications to aim the MQL nozzle at the cutting edge of multiple tools of varying lengths without operator intervention.

SpiderCool MQL systems atomize Accu-Lube lubricant within the SpiderCool nozzle assembly. Micro-droplets of lubricant are then directed through an extended nozzle tube. A specially designed tip and integrated laser allow the operator to direct the nearly invisible stream of lubricant so that a concentrated spray pattern is accurately applied onto a cutting tool up to 6 inches away.  

The innovative combination of Accu-Lube's MQL systems and SpiderCool's precision technology brings CNC machining to a whole new level. With the power of these two products it is now possible to realize all of the combined advantages of near-dry machining and automated nozzle positioning: unattended operations, increased tool life, improved cycle time, better part quality, elimination of coolant disposal, corrosion free machines, and improved operator safety, all while promoting a cleaner, healthier environment. Cost savings begin immediately and rapidly accumulate. Return on investment is typically only a few months on a single shift application.
