Accu-Lube & SpiderCool

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Accu-Lube Minimum Quantity Lubricant (MQL) can now be precisely aimed using SpiderCool Automated Nozzle Systems in CNC Machining Centers. This innovation supports environmentally-safe lubricants and near-dry machining.

Traditional vs. Modern Lubrication
Traditional methods involved flooding machining areas with cutting fluids, leading to maintenance issues and corrosion. Modern MQL systems use minimal lubricant, focusing on quality over quantity, to achieve similar benefits without the drawbacks.

Accu-Lube MQL System
Accu-Lube MQL applicators deliver microdroplets of lubricant directly to the cutting surface, enhancing tool sharpness, cleanliness, and machine longevity while eliminating maintenance.

SpiderCool Technology
SpiderCool is a servo-driven coolant nozzle system for CNC machining centers. It automatically adjusts to tool-specific positions, improving coolant delivery and chip evacuation. The system can perform oscillating coolant positions for better coverage.

Integration of Accu-Lube and SpiderCool
The combination of Accu-Lube MQL and SpiderCool technology allows precise aiming of lubricant, solving previous limitations in CNC applications. This integration supports unattended operations, increased tool life, improved cycle time, and better part quality.

Benefits
The system promotes a cleaner environment, enhances operator safety, and offers significant cost savings with a rapid return on investment.

Product Information
SpiderCool systems are available for various CNC machines, with plug-and-play packages for easy installation. Custom systems and factory installations are available upon request.

Contact Information
SpiderCool and Accu-Lube are manufactured by DCI Dimensional Control, Inc. and Rocol North America, respectively, with contact details provided for inquiries.

Environmentally-Safe Lubricants and Minimum Quantity Lubrication Systems for Near-Dry Machining For years the conventional thought on applying metalworking fluid was, “the more, the better.” If you wanted great finishes on your parts and your tools to last, then you needed to flood the entire machining area with vast amounts of cutting fluid. Today, cutting tool lubrication has evolved to meet the wants and demands of the industry. It is now possible to get all of the benefits of traditional flood coolant with none of the drawbacks using Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). MQL is exactly what...

Hi-Performance Automated Directional Coolant Nozzle Systems for CNC Machining Centers SpiderCool is a precision servo-driven coolant nozzle system that has been developed for CNC machining centers to address the coolant delivery problem that many operators faced when running a machine with multiple tools of varying lengths and sizes. SpiderCool’s intelligent interface tracks every tool independently to automatically recognize and adjust to the tool’s specific coolant nozzle position when it is placed in the spindle. Programming the individual settings for each tool is as simple as turning an...
