With modern Lubrication technology With DropsA you can increase the productivity of your metal processing and sustainably reduce costs.
Lower friction
Optimal lubrication reduces friction and ensures smooth production processes.
Longer lifespan
Less wear and tear, fewer repairs – for maximum machine availability.
Automated maintenance
Minimum downtimes thanks to automatic relubrication.
Optimized costs
Reduced energy consumption and lower need for lubricants.
Efficiency in metalworking comes from the interplay of tool, machine and lubrication. Precisely metered, automatic lubrication reduces friction and energy demand, extends the life of tools and components, and keeps processes clean and reproducible. In cutting in particular — milling, turning, sawing and drilling — the right lubrication or minimum quantity strategy has a direct effect on surface quality, tool wear and throughput. Treating lubrication as part of the process, not an afterthought, is where much of the efficiency is won.
The range of tasks runs from lubricating guides, bearings and spindles, through circulating-oil lubrication of gearboxes, to process-side minimum quantity lubrication at the tool. Each of these has its own requirements for medium, dosing and cleanliness — a blanket solution falls short. Reproducible dosing across many points and clean lubricant are the foundations of an efficient process.
For efficiency, minimum quantity lubrication cuts coolant use and keeps parts dry in cutting, while a progressive distributor meters exactly the right amount to each point — neither too little (wear) nor too much (waste). A MAGNOM® filter keeps the oil clean so metering stays accurate, and monitoring ensures the savings are sustained rather than eroded by an unnoticed fault.
An efficient system stays efficient only if it is kept in good order. Routine care — refilling, checking the cycle and pressure signals, cleaning filters — is light, and the documented cycles make it easy to confirm that each point is still receiving the optimum amount. Catching a drift early prevents the gradual rise in friction, energy and wear that erodes the efficiency gain.
The efficiency gain has several sources that add up. Reduced friction lowers the energy the machine draws and the heat it generates, so spindles and drives run cooler and more stably. Exact dosing cuts lubricant consumption directly — often the most visible saving — while also extending the intervals between top-ups. Longer tool and component life reduces both spend and the downtime of changeovers, and in cutting, MQL removes the cost and handling of flood coolant entirely. Because the system documents its dosing, these gains can be verified rather than assumed, and a drift that would quietly erode them is caught early. Treated as part of the process, lubrication becomes a measurable contributor to overall equipment effectiveness.
Precisely metered, automatic lubrication reduces friction and energy demand, extends tool and component life, and keeps processes clean and reproducible.
It applies a minimal oil aerosol at the tool, cutting coolant use and keeping the workpiece, chips and machine largely dry while protecting the cutting edge.
Too little lubricant causes wear; too much is wasted. A progressive distributor meters exactly the right amount to each point.
A MAGNOM® filter keeps the oil clean so the metering stays accurate and the components are protected from abrasive wear.
By monitoring and light routine maintenance, so an unnoticed fault does not gradually erode the savings.
