The tool manufacturer HAM uses the innovative minimal quantity lubrication system Aerosol Master 4000 ATS from Knoll for perfect machining results. The ultrafine air-oil mixture cools from aluminum to titanium and saves enormous costs.

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is still commonly perceived as a dirty and sticky process. A prejudice that Raffael Eberle, who manages the operations of the tool manufacturer HAM Präzision together with his parents Petra and Günter Eberle, strongly refutes: "That's not true. It depends on the right MQL system. For example, the aerosol dry lubrication process (ATS) offered by Knoll generates an ultra-fine air-oil mixture that provides the necessary lubrication and cooling during machining. The consumption is minimal, with a shot glass of lubrication medium sufficient per hour. This prevents any sticking or dirt from occurring."
