Cutting lubricant control ups
performance
Recent refinements to minimal quantity lubrications systems further benefits to metal machining operations by controling precisely the temperature of the oil arriving at the cutting point.
Bielomatik has further refined the design of its 2 channel MQL (minimal quantity lubrication) system with the introduction of a new quick valve that controls precisely the temperature of the oil arriving at the cutting point By heating the oil to a constant, known temperature Bielomatik has removed one of the 'process variables', making the whole process more robust

Minimal quantity lubrication ups cycle times 30%
A minimal quantity lubrication system brings economical, safer and environmental benefits to lubrication at the 'cutting tip' to cut a total machining cycle time by up to 30%.
Automated lubrication systems reduce wear
R J Herbert has incorporated Bielomatik automated lubrication systems into its packhouse machines to reduce component wear.
This will make the Bielomatik MQL system the preferred choice for many machining cycles with its increased savings in oil usage, faster cutting cycle, less waste contaminants to name just a few of the many production and financial benefits to be achieved.
The Bielomatik 2-channel system delivers pressurised oil and proportionally controlled air separately to a Bielomatik rotary transmission unit.
A specially designed 'quick valve' mounted to the rotary transmission controls the exact amount of lubricant required.
In the new development this quick valve is equipped with heaters and feedback sensors for accurately controlling the oil temperature.
By maintaining a stable temperature there is an improvement in cutting performance as well as an up-grading in all the many benefits associated with MQL machining operations.
A feature of the Bielomatik MQL 2-channel system is that air and oil remain separate streams until immediately prior to discharge to the cutting tip where they mix to produce a precisely controlled fine oil/air mix.
The latest refinement to what is already very successful and proven system will make the Bielomatik system an even greater friend of both production and financial directors due to the very real significant improvements in machining times plus the monetary savings that are easily achievable.
