As part of the Industry 4.0 concept, the entire added-value chain of people, machines, logistics and cutting fl uids should be interlinked and optimized to achieve largely self-organizing production with the help of advanced IT and communications technologies. For this, cutting fl uid measurement data must be accessible online, evaluated and corresponding adjustments made. For measured data to be accurately analyzed, high stability cutting fl uids are essential.

However, their performance is also infl uenced by their compatibility with the other machine lubricants used. Perfectly matched lubricants therefore make a signifi cant contribution to optimum machining results.
