What Are The Advantages Of Applying Micro-Lubrication on CNC Routers?

CNC routers are commonly used for designing and manufacturing products. The ability to cut, drill or mill aluminum, metal & plastic components with precision is why CNC routers are widely used by manufacturers worldwide.

These CNC machines require lubrication systems during the machining process, which keeps the tool and workpiece cool.

Common CNC Router Lubrication Methods

The 2 primary methods are flood cooling and micro-lubrication. The most common, but least effective method is flood cooling. This method floods the tool and workpiece using gallons of toxic chemicals mixed with water. It's very messy and requires extensive cleanup of tools, work areas and soaked cutting chips.

The 2nd method, which is the more cost effective Micro-Lubrication... or minimum quantity lubrication.

CNC Manufacturers Trust MagLube MQL Systems on Their CNC Machines

Premium quality CNC router manufacturers are integrating MagLube's MQL systems into their machine builds. CAMaster and Laguna Tools both use MagLube's 21st century micro-lubrication as their preferred lubrication system.

MagLube offers a micro-lubrication system for CNC routers that substantially reduces the amount of lubricant needed when compared to the less efficient flood cooling method. When we say substantially... that is not an understatement. Operators using our systems can expect to use ONLY 2 - 4 oz. of lubricant during an 8-hour shift... compared to gallons of toxic coolants needed if flood cooling.
