Micro-lubrication technology is a technology that uses compressed air to atomize a small amount of lubricating oil to replace the cutting fluid (oil) in metal cutting processing, and the lubricating oil used is a non-toxic, degradable synthetic lubricant without mineral components. The application of micro-lubrication on cnc machine 1165 is very advantageous. Enterprises with conditions and processing requirements can choose to use it. At the same time, in order to be able to apply it well, we still need to pay attention to some problems.
The main points of the application of micro-lubrication in machining center:
1. Coordination of micro-lubrication device and machining center: Machining center is a kind of high-speed and high-efficiency cutting equipment. Therefore, it is required that the micro-lubrication device must be able to seamlessly connect with the machine tool, that is, when the cutting starts, the device can quickly provide oil mist. There must be no delays.
2. Adaptability: When using internal cooling type micro-lubrication processing, the internal cooling hole of each tool is different, and the required amount of oil mist will also be different. Since the machining center often changes tools, this will involve adjusting the amount of oil mist. Therefore, it must be required that the amount of oil mist generated by the micro-lubrication device has an automatic adjustment function, and can be equipped with different tools.
3. Layout of nozzles: Due to frequent replacement of cutting tools in machining centers and different sizes of cutting tools, when applying external spray type micro-lubrication, you must pay attention to the layout of nozzles to provide reliable lubrication for cutting tools.
Advantages of micro-lubrication in machining center applications
1. Compatible with high-speed cutting of machining center. The machining center is a high-speed, high-efficiency processing equipment. Both the running speed and the response speed are very fast. Therefore, the supporting micro-lubrication system also needs to have a fast response time. The Doppel micro-lubrication system can be started as soon as it is turned on.
2. Reduce costs. The consumption of lubricant in micro-lubrication is about one ten thousandth of that of wet-cut lubricant, which reduces the cost of lubricant. At the same time, the micro-lubrication is powered by compressed air, and the energy consumption is greatly reduced compared with the cutting fluid circulation system. On the other hand, after micro-lubrication replaces the cutting fluid system, it can directly reduce the manufacturing cost of the machine tool itself.
3. Environmental improvement. The application of micro-lubrication will not cause the emulsion splash when using cutting fluid, which can protect the working environment and the cleaning of the machine tool itself.
4. The overall efficiency is improved. The micro-lubrication processing is quasi-dry processing, which can eliminate the workpiece cleaning process during wet cutting processing, shorten the process chain, and improve the overall efficiency of the production line.
