Unist Inc., a manufacturer of equipment for MQL/near-dry machining, has expanded its list of successful applications to include drilling in the structural steel fabrication market. Unist has developed a system that is easy to install on almost any multispindle beam drill line. The Unist lubricator is a through-the-tool MQL system which, when used with the Coolube high-efficiency lubricant, eliminates the need for flood coolant and improves drill life. By independently controlling the amount of the lubricant to each tool, the Unist multispindle drilling lubrication system allows the operator to apply exactly the required amount of lubricant. Because the Coolube is an all natural biodegradable product, and is applied in such small quantities, there is never any need to worry about excess cutting fluid contaminating the shop or the environment, according to the company.
