Minimum Quantity
Lubrication Technology (MQL)
When using Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL), the lubricant is delivered directly to the cutting edge of the tool as an oil mist (aerosol). The LUBRIX MQL system was specifically developed for maximum performance in through tool applications. The LUBRIX systems offer the highest efficiency and consistency of lubrication delivery in the industry.
Twenty years of experience and thousands of installations makes LUBRIX uniquely qualified to address all of your MQL needs.

Applications
Single or double spindle machining centers
The MQL medium is transported to the cutting edge of the tool in a fraction of a second.
Multi-spindle special-purpose machines
The MQL volume flow can be distributed in absolute uniformity to multiple spindles simultaneously.
Drilling/milling centers with swivel-head spindle
Even long or awkward channel lines required by design constraints can be overcome to provide the ideal supply of MQL to the tools.
Single or multi turret lathes
Both lathes and power drills are supplied with the optimal quantity of MQL medium.
Our products
LUBRIX MQL systems are equipped to handle a variety of processes or machine tools.
Every LUBRIX MQL system offers a standard set of features that have been especially designed to cope with the challenges of using MQL technology in all kinds of machine tools and machining processes. For particularly demanding applications, optional extras can also be incorporated into the systems. LUBRIX offers two MQL system series. The LUBRIX V Series MQL systems are designed with the flexibility and capability for any applications that end users demand, and cover every conceivable monitoring feature desired.
