Checking the Settings
Direct the spray nozzle toward the cutting edge
of the tool and observe whether a lubricant film
forms. If necessary, increase the lubricant a-
mount or the atomizer air amount.
The distance between the spray
nozzle and the tool reference
plane should be kept to a mini-
mum. If they are too far apart
from each other, the tool refer-
ence plane will not be supplied
with a sufficient amount of lubri-
cant.
Note: the greater the distance,
the greater the spraying angle of
the spray nozzle.
Start processing and adjust the aerosol amount
and the aerosol composition to the process by
taking criteria such as lubricant, cutting parame-
ters, roughness of surface, and tool wear for the
setting changes as a basis.
We recommend ascertaining and optimising the
necessary settings for your application by un-
dertaking test runs in order to attain the best re-
sults for your processing procedures.
If necessary, use two spray nozzles arranged
180° in relation to one another in order to opti-
mize the aerosol supply to the lubricating point.
