ECOSAVER® / KEP4 (Equipment-mounted Type)
Ideal when cutting oil to the machining centre or NC milling machine is controlled by using M signals.
Semi-dry processing is an eco-friendly cutting technology that not only reduces the quantity of cutting oil used or reduces the cost of disposal of oiling equipment and waste oil processing, but also increases the cutting tool life and maintains the cutting accuracy.
ECOSAVER®, the minimal quantity lubrication system, generates mist inside the container by atomizing oil by using compressed air to only supply microscopic oil mist (microfog) along with air to the outside of the container.
"Eco-Saver KEP4" is designed to supply only mist with a particle size of around 1µm.
This structure allows cutting fluid to reach the machining point in approximately one second from the start of Eco-Saver operation, even with high-speed rotating machining centers or complex piping.
