Spray Lubrication Systems have already been used in the metal processing for a longer time. Thus, the predecessor of today’s Steidle unit Spraymat was already built around 1970. This technology [...]

The Steidle GmbH was established in 1979 and offered its first spraying system, the “VAPOR LUB” (predecessor of the Spraymat) around 1983. Until 1990, the programme was extended by the Lubrimat [...]

MQL can be used in almost all metal processing methods. For this purpose the chipping processes with the geometrically defined cutting edges are most suitable. But MQL can be used also in case of [...]

The overall conditions of the process are less decisive than the process, especially the available space: Is it possible to place the nozzle at the point of contact of tool/work piece or even to [...]

For MQL an appropriate device, a suitable medium and compressed air are mainly necessary.

2.5 – 3 times the diameter can be taken as a rule of the thumb for the maximum drilling depth; sometimes more and sometimes less depending on the material feature. From this depth the tool has to [...]

Yes, the so-called “internal lubrication” is possible, but it requires suitable MQL devices, which are distinguished from the equipment provided for the “external lubrication“.

Traditional, pure wood processing: Wood is mostly processed in dry state, since the lifetimes are also good without lubrication and the moisture would make the chips heavy and sticky, which in [...]

With MQL, it is possible to make the lubricating process more efficiently. Only the quantity actually necessary is applied. A time-consuming and costly cleaning of chips and work piece are not [...]

An increase of the lifetime is certain compared to dry procession; at least the same lifetime is to be expected compared to closed-circuit cooling, and in many cases even a better lifetime.
