Precision Fluid Dispensing Lubricators
Precision fluid dispensing systems help reduce fluid usage in the lubrication process. Precise fluid application is the key to maximizing the benefits of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). Applying too much lubricant is a waste and can adversely affect chip formation, whereas inadequate lubricant reduces tool life. The precise fluid application requires accurate pumps for consistent lubricant delivery and appropriate nozzles to create and direct the spray.
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 workpiece.

What are Precision Fluid Dispensing Lubricators
Precision fluid dispensing systems play a vital role in reducing fluid usage during the lubrication process. These systems enable precise fluid application, which is essential for maximizing the benefits of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). Applying the right amount of lubricant is crucial to avoid wastage and achieve optimal chip formation, while inadequate lubrication can lead to reduced tool life. To ensure precise fluid application, accurate pumps and appropriate nozzles are necessary for consistent lubricant delivery and spray control.
Precision fluid dispensing systems are designed to optimize the efficiency of lubrication processes by enabling accurate and controlled fluid application. These systems consist of two crucial components: accurate pumps and appropriate nozzles.
Accurate Pumps for Consistent Lubricant Delivery
Accurate pumps are integral to precision fluid dispensing systems. They ensure consistent and reliable delivery of the lubricant to the application point. These pumps are calibrated to dispense the precise amount of lubricant required, preventing both excessive and insufficient lubrication. By maintaining accurate fluid volumes, these pumps enhance the overall performance of the lubrication process.
Appropriate Nozzles for Spray Control
Nozzles play a crucial role in creating and directing the spray of lubricant. They determine the spray pattern, droplet size, and coverage area, ensuring that the lubricant reaches the intended areas accurately. Proper nozzle selection is essential to achieve precise fluid application. By controlling the spray, nozzles help optimize the lubrication process and minimize wastage.
Types of Precision Lubrication Systems at HVH
Unist Coolubricator Precision Lubricant System
The Unist Coolubricator precision lubricant system is an excellent solution for implementing Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) in metal cutting operations. This system features a precision positive displacement pump and individually adjustable air and fluid volumes, providing precise control over lubricant delivery. The Coolubricator incorporates a reliable Unist pump with separate air/fluid control, ensuring accurate and consistent lubricant application.
Unist Coolubricator JR: Portable MQL System
The Unist Coolubricator JR is a portable MQL system that offers flexibility and ease of use. It can be easily moved between machines, making it ideal for drill presses, lathes, saws, and open milling machines where manual control and a single nozzle are sufficient. This versatile lubricator can be hand-carried from one scheduled cutting or machining equipment to another, minimizing downtime. With a heavy-duty magnet, it can be quickly installed, ensuring seamless integration into the workflow.
The Advantages of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL)
Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is a technique that replaces the conventional flood coolant method commonly used in machining operations. Unlike flood coolant, which involves applying a large amount of coolant to the workpiece, MQL utilizes a minute quantity of high-quality lubricant precisely targeted at the interface of the cutting tool and the workpiece. This precise application of lubricant offers several advantages:
Reduced Fluid Usage: MQL significantly reduces fluid consumption compared to flood coolant, leading to cost savings and minimizing the environmental impact associated with excessive fluid usage.
Enhanced Chip Formation: Precise fluid application in MQL helps in achieving optimal chip formation. The controlled delivery of lubricant reduces heat and friction during the cutting process, promoting better chip evacuation and improving surface finish.
Extended Tool Life: Inadequate lubrication can lead to increased friction and heat generation, resulting in accelerated tool wear. MQL ensures that the cutting tool receives the right amount of lubricant, reducing wear and extending tool life.
Conclusion
In conclusion, precision fluid dispensing lubricators are essential for enhancing the efficiency of lubrication processes. By enabling precise fluid application, these systems reduce fluid usage, improve chip formation, and extend tool life. Implementing Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL), such as the Unist Coolubricator precision lubricant system, offers significant benefits in metal-cutting operations. By incorporating accurate pumps and appropriate nozzles, these systems ensure consistent and controlled lubricant delivery, optimizing the performance of machining processes.
