Near Dry Machining (MQL)

THE BENEFIT OF DROPSA NEAR-DRY MACHINING TECHNOLOGY

- Reduce work cycle times, generally by 25% to 80%.
- Increase tool life thus increasing time between tool change and gainproductivity.
- Better surface finish and tolerances can be achieved.
- Eliminate coolant - make your plant more environmentally friendly.
- Parts finish machining with a fine rust inhibiting oil coating - not coolant contamination.
- Water and oil consumption drastically reduced.
- Our technology works on diverse materials and machining operations.
- Eliminate capital cost of high pressure thru-tool coolant system on new systems.
- Side-by-side Implementation parallel to existing coolant system gives you peace of mind and maximum flexibility.
- DROPSA MQL Uses Patented Auto-adaptive technology eliminating complex and continual adjustment between tool change.
- No complicated electronic control systems needed thanks to the patented Auto-adaptive system.
