Publication number: 20060171788Abstract: Process and device for detecting a lubricant stream in a minimal amount cooling lubricant system (MMKS). Known processes conduct the measurement in the MMKS-supply channel relatively far from the actual working location. They require an incorporation of sensors in the rotating tool container, which is very complex and associated with high costs. These disadvantages are overcome in that the measurement at the lubricant outlet occurs in a separate measurement container, wherein the aerosol component is measured optically and the lubricant film component is measured gravimetrically.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Joachim Doerr, Michael Lahres, Albert Loichinger, Klaus Weinert, Waldemar Zielasko
