    Welcome to our new subscribers! Micro-Mail is the news and application e-mail which reports the scope of possibilities for Micro-Fluidization. Our customers lubricate better, consume less, and save money in their processes.

    We are pleased to see new readers each month. As companies continue to search for innovative ways to cut costs and improve operations, lubrication is an increasingly important factor. Efficient, productive, environmentally responsible lubrication has been our main business for over 50 years. We consider it a privilege to assist industrial companies with our solutions.

    In this issue, some basic information about Near Dry Machining / MQL is available for Internet viewing. Detailed questions will receive prompt response from your local UNIST representative or our engineering / manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, MI.

    We look forward to working with you!

    Nozzle Cutaway Video - Minimum Quantity Lubrication Basics
    Modern Machine Shop Online - December 2008

    An instructional video by Todd Schuett, an industrial media producer with a passion for manufacturing technology is located in the MMS online site. The video explains basics of single channel MQL and demonstrates how to adjust settings and locate nozzles on simple systems. It also discusses the interactions between small amounts of lubricant and some materials and tooling.

    While the video's focus is basic external atomized spray, it also briefly discusses Thru-Tool MQL. The video features UNIST MQL Systems as part of the demonstrations within the video.

    UNIST manufactures a variety of nozzle technologies for external spray as well as systems for Thru-Tool applications. UNIST also provides adapters for connection to Thru Spindle applications.

    UNIST systems can dispense vegetable based, water based and synthetic fluids at both high and low pressure. UNIST MQL systems for Thru-Tool integrate with multiple styles of tool holders for coolant fed tooling.
