The Best CNC Milling Machine Lubricant

Having the most effective lubrication system on a CNC milling machine is critically important to maximizing efficiency, managing costs and producing the highest quality finished products. The vast majority of manufacturers out there are still using MWFs (metalworking fluids) and flood cooling to lubricate their milling process, which is quite surprising.

Why is this surprising you may be thinking? Well, since the introduction of MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) systems and lubricants, a small percentage of manufacturing engineers and operation managers have transitioned from toxic MWFs to MQL, also known as micro-lubrication. They have seen substantial improvements in virtually every measurable metric across the board when it comes to how their CNC milling lubricant process performs.

 

Custom MQL Systems by Maglube Interview

Maglube is a global leader in the industrial lubrication industry. But there products
are not the typical petroleum based oil and their systems are highly customized and
retro-fitted for each metal working machine.

Industrial manufacturing has moved towards a more eco-friendly approach in their
manufacturing process, and Maglube's micor lubricants and MQL systems are on the
cutting edge of what is happening in this space in 2019.

A 21st century solution for industrial lubrication for you manufacturing facility.

In this video, we interview Vice President of Maglube to get the low down on how
they provide this ecologically friendly solution in manufacturing.

Invest In Employees and Tools

When hiring a new employee, they are likely trained on workplace safety, best practices in tool operation, as well as how to actually use the machine they'll be working on. While this all seems like a through introduction into the workplace, it lacks one key component - care and maintenance training. 

The proper maintenance and care of industrial tools is imperative to their productivity. Tools that aren't well maintained will break down, perform inefficiently and could lead to workplace accidents. This is why it’s important to teach new employees about the key role they play in caring for the machines they use day in, day out. 

Learning by doing is one of the most effective forms of education, which is why it's important to engross new hires into the how - and why - of maintenance from the start. If a worker learns a procedure without understanding why it needs to be done, they can come to believe it’s a meaningless formality. This leaves workers tempted to skip important parts of lubrication systems care, or perform them carelessly.

Invest in your employees, as well as your equipment, and productivity will reap the rewards. The resulting benefits will include high-performing machines, conscientious employees, and a smoothly functioning workplace.
