A specialised microlubrication air/oil system for machine tooling protection has been introduced to the range – LUBROSTAR. This system provides a minimum amount of oil in order to give a much cleaner work area, whilst still giving improved protection of tooling.
Small amounts of lubricant conveyed by a low pressure air stream and directed to the contact area between the tool and the material have proved very effective. This is achieved by the use of volumetric micro pumps dispensing oil via a capillary tube to a nozzle. A further coaxial tube supplies low pressure air to the nozzle which breaks the two into micro particles. These two elements are delivered to the contact area without causing pollution, combining oil lubrication with cooling provided by low pressure air.
