Device for providing minimal lubrication of exchangeable tools of wet cooling lubrication machine tools, has operating parameters for each tool type stored in memory so that the appropriate lubrication can be applied

摘要

A device for ensuring minimal lubrication of exchangeable tools comprises a control-memory unit that contains tool or tool group specific parameters for each tool (25). The piston pumps (4, 5) and proportional valves (12, 15) for lubricant supply are controlled by independent control storage elements (1) that require only a tool identification signal and minimal lubrication on- off signal to operate in minimal lubrication mode.
