2C – Multi-spindle lubrication

Multi-spindle lubrication for tools

For multiple tool holders in use at the same time

Key features & technical data

  • Separate supply of oil and air to the tool holder
  • Air pressure: up to 10 bar
  • Oil viscosity: between 10 and 100 mm²/s
  • Power supply: 400 V AC or 24 V DC

2C – multi-spindle minimum quantity lubrication

The 2C system is designed for minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) on machines with several tool holders. It supplies multiple spindles, or tool holders, at the same time, carrying oil and air separately to each tool holder and only mixing the two media there. This separate routing means every spindle is supplied independently and evenly, with the lubrication of one tool having no effect on the others — exactly what is needed when several tools machine in parallel and each requires its own precise air-oil dose. The 2C is part of DropsA's minimum quantity lubrication range for clean, low-consumption machining.

How it works

Oil and air are delivered through separate channels to each tool holder, where they are combined immediately before the cutting point to form a finely metered air-oil mixture. Because the media meet only at the tool holder, the dose to each spindle can be set independently and stays stable regardless of what the neighbouring spindles are doing. The result is a precise, demand-led air-oil supply for every tool holder on a multi-spindle machine.

Your advantages

Supplies several spindles / tool holders simultaneouslyOil and air routed separately, combined only at the tool holderIndependent, even dose to each spindle — no mutual influencePrecise, demand-led air-oil lubrication per tool holderClean, low-consumption alternative to flood coolant

System integration & selection

The 2C integrates into multi-spindle machines as part of an MQL solution alongside containers and accessories such as VIP4Tools. The system is selected by the number of tool holders to be supplied and the dose required at each. Where a single point or a portable solution is needed instead, units such as Grip or the MLU may be the better fit.

Frequently asked questions about 2C

What is the 2C system used for?
It provides minimum quantity lubrication on machines with several tool holders, supplying multiple spindles simultaneously with an independent air-oil dose for each.
Why are oil and air routed separately?
Oil and air are carried separately to each tool holder and combined only there, so every spindle is supplied independently and evenly without the tools influencing one another.
Where is the 2C used?
On multi-spindle and multi-tool machines in metalworking — drilling, milling and similar operations where several tools work at once.
What are the benefits over flood coolant?
By applying only a minimal, precisely metered oil dose, it keeps the workpiece, chips and machine largely dry and cuts coolant, disposal and cleaning costs.
How is the 2C configured?
By the number of tool holders to be supplied and the dose required at each, as part of an MQL solution with containers and accessories.
