Microlubrication which is also named minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a means to bring accurate quantity of liquid in a process.
The aim of this internet site
What is it to do?
It is to show two technologies which provide accurate amounts of liquid at the right place and so make it possible to save money:
- microlubrication is also named minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). Volumetric micropumps deliver liquid.
- spraying which is used when the liquid must be spread on wide areas or sometimes when the microlubrication does not fit with the process.
Microlubrication, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) applications
The most known application of the microlubrication is for machining operations instead of conventional processes where cutting fluid was abundantly used.
Microlubrication is also used:
- for cutting and stamping operations
- for forming and bending operations
- for assembly operations
- to lubricate mechanical components
Spraying applications
There are technologies which make it possible to spray liquid without generating mist. Spraying is often used:
- for cutting and stamping operations
- to lubricate conveyors
- for molding operations
- fo industrial bakery applications
