Keywords: Oil mists, TACO Co Ltd, Toyota
TACO Co. Ltd and Toyota Industrial Co. Ltd have jointly developed a semi-dry oil fogging system that is intended to improve the machining environment. It uses compressed air to generate an oil fog (mist) with particle diameters of micron size to release small quantities of cutting oil to tools such as drills, taps, reamers and millers as well as to the inside parts of cutting tools and to the outer parts of cutting spots to improve lubrication and heat suppression. Compared with the conventional type of coolant system, the machining accuracy is improved,deterioration of the machine face prevented, life expectancies of tools prolonged, and disposal of waste oil and fluids facilitated.
