Unist systems dispense a narrow stream of atomized lubrication called minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or near-dry machining.
MQL keeps cutting tools at optimal temperatures without the mess of flood coolant by reducing friction. Minimum quantity lubrication can improve tool life and surface finishes using only a fraction of the fluid.

How Unist MQL works on CNC mills
How does Unist deliver machining benefits with less fluid? We take a different approach:
Minimum Quantity Lubrication
Specialized Lubricants
Our Coolube® products are high performance lubricants. We take renewable, plant-based materials and refine them to very high levels of purity.
The polar properties of Coolube® create a high level of adhesion to metal surfaces and incredible friction-reducing capabilities.
Offered in several formulations, Coolube® is a great option for machining ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastic materials. Coolube® is so effective, you’ll be amazed at how little you need!
Machine Integration
Unist MQL systems are designed with flexibility in mind, recognizing that lubrication needs for CNC jobs vary. Our systems allow you to independently control up to 12 fluid or air outputs.
Offering CNC controls integration, Unist systems can be configured to run as seamlessly as you choose.
"We have seen considerable improvements in productivity, tool life, and machine cleanliness"
We have been able to eliminate coolant usage almost entirely. We employ skilled machinists and toolmakers that have 20 plus years of industry experience that prefer this product over traditional coolants.
