Accessories
The ADU range offers a wide variety of optional accessories, including lubrication, cycle counter, balancer and vacuum system. Tailor your tools to perfectly suit your specific requirements.
Lubrication
Two designs exist and can either be integrated on the ST1200 and ST2200.
- ONBOARD LUBRICATION
- The onboard system lubricates the cutting tool without an external unit
- Container autonomy depends on tool diameter and capillary size
Adjust pump flow by tightening the air pressure regulator
OUTBOARD LUBRICATION
Tool plugged to an external high-capacity oil tank
