MQL technology for minimal internal tool lubrication.
Single-channel MQL systems
Internal MQL for Tools
Technological developments aimed at shortening the manufacturing processes, even by eliminating unnecessary steps, are fundamental to produce faster and efficiently.
Dry machining with MQL technology offers enormous potentials for process optimization, leading to valuable competitive advantages.
MQL generates less heat during the cutting process. As a result, the tool lasts longer, the cutting speed increases, the surface quality improves and the entire machining process is completed in a shorter time and at lower costs.
With a consolidated know-how and application experience, MWM has developed a complete family of systems for internal MQL, really reliable and for high performance.

Energy and cost savings through MQL
Better on principle
MQL-Systems replace conventional coolant in the modern machining processes. The use of a special technology greatly reduces the friction between workpiece, chip and tool. As a result less heat is produced, the tools last longer, the cutting speeds increase and the entire machining process is completed in a shorter time and at lower costs. Depending on the specific machining process, savings up to 30% can be achieved.
Dry machining with MQL technology offers enormous savings potentials in series production. The traditional method based on coolant requires several devices, i.e. emulsion cooling and cleaning, wet chips processing and waste water treating. All these devices are not needed when using MQL.
Energy saving with MQL
Energy required by a machine tool, potential savings resulting from the use of MQL technology.

Excellent solutions
Aerosol generation
The lubricant medium used for MQL is a very fine mixture of compressed air and micronized oil droplets, sized up to 1 micron, defined as “aerosol”. The aerosol is conveyed to the lubrication point through flexible pipes. The absolute volumetric flow rate is optimally regulated by the MQL system. Depending on the different processing needs, the concentration of the oil particles can be increased or decreased separately for each tool through the machine CNC. |
