Roller Burnishing with Compressed Air and MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication)
- The ECOROLL Compressed Air System makes ECOROLL tools compatible with MQL-machines.
- Lubricant consumption only amounts to 2 ml/h (0.122 cu. in/h) per ball.
- The machine workspace remains dry and the work piece is covered with a very fine lubricant film which does not contaminate either the machine or the environment.
- The system is applicable for air pressure up to 200 bar (2900 PSI) and therefore, it is suitable for roller burnishing and deep rolling of materials up to 55 HRC.
Depending on the application, air pressure between 20 and 200 bar (290 to 2900 PSI) is required. This pressure is usually not available in most central compressed air networks. Therefore, ECOROLL offers specially tailored compressed-air units for any application:
HGL1
For supplying one tool consisting of a compressed air bottle set with two 50l bottles with 300 bar (4350 PSI) filling pressure, a high-pressure MQL system, a control unit for connecting the unit with the CNC machine control for a program-controlled activation and shut-down of compressed air and MQL.
HGL2
For supplying a machine with multiple tools consisting of an air compressor with 300 bar (4350 PSI), acoustic insulation, a 50l storage bottle, a control unit for connecting the unit with the CNC machine control for a program-controlled activation and shut-down of compressed air and MQL. This unit is also suitable for fully automated operation.
