So confident in the core benefits that its Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL) can give to machining operations bielomatik is introducing a Trial Kit which enables companies to try–before-they-buy, and find out how advantageous a Bielomatik MQL system can be.

Companies already using bielomatik MQL technology are experiencing major improvements with a significant up-turn in productivity since cutting cycle times may be reduced and at the same time better product finishes achieved.  There are also direct, on-going financial savings since there is a dramatic reduction in the amount of cutting oil required and disposal cost of discarded metal is lower since it is virtually oil-free.

Savings have been brought about with the bielomatik system which 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, nozzles – in fact everything that is needed to connect to a machine.  MQL systems require that tooling and spindle have through-holes since this is where the lubricant has to pass.   Bielomatik engineers will assist in the set-up of the trial kit to optimise its function to each particular machining application.

In summary, the core advantages are precise control and adjustment of the oil flow, no overdosing during tool changes [complies with EPA requirements], oil mist does not get into the environment; immediate surroundings stay clean as does the workpiece.  It also results in swarf that is more easily and more cheaply disposed off, since no cleaning is required.  And for a machine designer MQL eliminates large-bore coolant delivery pipes, fire protection control and fluid-handling recovery.
