Environmentally Friendly Lubrication Continuous Precision

Continuous Precision What Is MQL? Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) replaces the flood coolant commonly used in machining operations with a minute amount of high-quality lubricant precisely applied to the interface of the cutting tool and work piece. The lubricant minimizes friction between the material and the tool, greatly reducing the heat that is generated during machining. In contrast, the purpose of traditional flood coolant is to absorb the heat after it has been created. MQL technology has been used for over 25 years and has proven its effectiveness in a broad range of machining...

Continuous Precision Precise Fluid Application Precise fluid application is the key to maximizing the benefits of Minimum Quantity Lubrication. Applying too much lubricant is a waste and can adversely affect chip formation, whereas inadequate lubricant reduces tool life. Precise fluid application requires accurate pumps for consistent lubricant delivery and appropriate nozzles to create and direct the spray. The adjustable positive displacement pumps used in the Coolubricator™ have a proven track record of consistency and reliability. Their unique modular design allows multiple pumps to be...

Your Coolubricator’s™ pump is guaranteed for life when used exclusively with Unist Coolube® Lubricant Keeping the fluid and air separate until the point of application is the key to delivering consistent spray output over extended lengths of supply tubing. Unist’s coaxial nozzles excel at this by combining the fluid and air directly at the nozzle tip. The “jacket of air” surrounding the fluid outlet evenly atomizes the fluid and delivers it to the cutting tool in a balanced spray pattern. Continuous Fluid Output Continuous fluid output is made possible with the Coolubricator’s™ built-in...

Continuous Precision Configuration Options Multiple Outputs Operate up to 16 pumps for 16 individual outputs. Outputs can be configured to operate independently or in multiples. Various sized enclosures are available depending on the number of pumps. Control Coolubricator™ operation with the following valve options: • Solenoid valve For actuation using an electrical signal from the machine • Manual valve For use with a low flow air signal • Foot valve 3-way slide valve for simple manual on/off control For hands-free manual operation Choose the appropriate pump output and type for each...

Coolubricator™ Applications The Coolubricator™ offers excellent performance on manual or CNC machines. Please use the following pages to learn more about Coolubricator™ performance and options in common applications. Don’t see your application? We may have information on Coolubricator™ performance for your specific application. Contact us for information or to inquire about a possible free in-plant 30 day trial. Band Sawing Equip your Coolubricator™ with one or more of Unist’s specialized nozzle configurations and enjoy all the benefits of MQL with your band saw. The Coolubricator™ can...

Existing band saw coolant ports - (band saws equipped with coolant ports) The Coolubricator™ can be directly connected to your band saw’s existing coolant ports to lubricate the blade guides. Circular Sawing The Coolubricator™ is excellent for circular sawing applications and can precisely deliver the optimal amount of Unist Coolube® lubricant directly to the critical areas of the saw blade. Bat Nozzle - Mounted through the blade guard (circular saws equipped with guard) The Unist Bat Nozzle provides superior coverage with three outputs aimed at the blade and the gullet of the teeth....

Tapping The Coolubricator™ is an excellent solution for tapping applications and will reduce tap wear and improve thread quality. Great for use with both cutting and forming taps. Coaxial Nozzle - Directed at the tap A single coaxial nozzle directed at the interface between the cutting edge of the tap and the work piece at a downward angle is recommended. Pecking may be necessary for reapplication of lubricant on deep tapped holes. Milling The Coolubricator™ is well suited for milling applications. Benefits typically include both increased tool life and improved surface finishes. Coaxial...

Turning The Coolubricator™ system is an excellent choice for CNC and manual lathes. It is an especially good alternative to flood coolant for manual or tool room lathes that do not get used frequently. The Coolubricator™ system will be ready to use when needed and does not require any machine clean up or fluid maintenance. Coaxial Nozzles - directed at back side of the cutting tool (external spray on a manual lathe) Optimum lubrication will be achieved by directing a single coaxial nozzle at the back side (non-cutting edge) of the cutting insert. Through The Turret - Directed at cutting...
