Quantum™

Product Info

Quantum Control

The Quantum™ gives you the ability to accurately and consistently quantify your lubrication settings. You can specify the fluid output down to a fraction of a drop to fine-tune machining processes, accurately measure and control usage, and share settings between multiple machines.

With both RS-232 and discrete input interfaces, the Quantum™ can integrate into almost any type of device. Whether used on a machine with a simple on-off switch or one with a PLC controller, the Quantum™ can be programmed with the precise settings needed for each job you run.

  • Integrate easily: Serial or discrete interface
  • Quantify your lubrication: Digitally-controlled output
  • Stay informed: Active monitoring
  • Enjoy the benefits of MQL on your CNC machine
  • Eliminate the flood coolant mess
  • Increase production rates
  • Improve surface finish

For engineers and machinists who understand the connection between process control and performance, the Quantum™ system represents a giant leap forward in lubricant delivery.

    spkit

    Unist Spindle Kit

    To get the best through-spindle MQL performance, it is necessary to deliver the lubricant and air in separate channels through the spindle to the tool holder. The Unist Spindle Kit includes two specially-designed components: a rotary union and a fluid delivery tube.

    thkit

    Unist Tool Holder Kit

    Unist MQL Tool Holder Kits fit into most common CAT and BT style tool holders. The MQL optimized retention knob and MQL tool holder insert ensure proper aerosol delivery from the end of the spindle to the shank of the tool.
