MQL LUBRICATION SYSTEM

The cooling lubricants used in large quantities in machining processes have a major negative impact on the environment and human health. The most effective way to minimize this effect is to reduce the consumption of cooling lubricants. However, reducing the amount of used coolant has a negative impact on cutting tool life and product quality, which are of great importance in machining. The MQL (Minimum Amount of Lubrication) process helps to cool the cutting tool and the workpiece by the compressed air function and also reduces the heat generated in the cutting area by removing the chips and increase the life of the cutting tool and surface quality Reducing friction at the cutting tool-chip interface with the lubricating effect. At the same time, cutting fluid consumption and production costs can be reduced by applying techniques such as MQL. Based on scientific studies, it has been found that the MQL technique offers much better performance in machining operations compared to traditional cooling techniques in terms of many parameters such as cutting tool life, surface roughness and cutting forces.
