Air/oil lubrication system MKD Dual

minimal quantityfor dry machiningfor machine tools

The MKD-Dual minimal lubrication unit represents the first step towards the world of near-dry machining by using the leading air-oil aerosol technology. Designed in particular for internal lubrication processes, this exclusive unit can generate a thin film of aerosol mixture which is brought directly to the tool cutting point by using the existing fluid distribution channels found on most machines. The auto-regulation is one of the key characteristics of MKD-Dual you will not find on other aerosol generators for near dry machining. Dual Venturi based aersol generator will automatically compensate when going from one size of tool to another avoiding the deterioration of the aerosol quality that is found when varying the linear velocity of air through the Venturi. MKD-Dual therefore optimises the process through an automatic adjustment of the micro-oil mist depending on the air flow - this means best aerosol quality throughout the different sizes of cutting tool and a considerable time saving on initial setup (no complex regulation). MKD-Dual has been designed mainly for mid-high range applications- this sophisticated technology of generating an ultra thin aerosol with sub micron particle size allows the mixture to flow through the spindle during rotation at high speeds minimizing the effects of centrifugal force on the aerosol avoiding deterioration. The Dual unit is provided with two outlets which can be supplied with electro-pneumatically controlled ball valves. Key features: - Air supply: Max 6 Bar (88.2 psi) - Air inlet pipe: Ø6 ÷ 10 mm (0.23 ÷ 0.4 in.) - Aerosol Outlet: Ø10 ÷ 16 mm (0.4 ÷ 0.6 in.) - Reservoir Capacity: 1,8 Litres (0,40 galls)
