To provide a semi-dry machining system, improving the stability of machining, the machining speed, and the accuracy and attaining long life of a tool by supplying a suitable flow of atomized working fluid by measuring the flow of atomized working fluid, which is supplied in the process of machining a workpiece.
This semi-dry machining system includes: an atomizer 3 for atomizing the working fluid; a conveying path 5 for conveying the atomized working fluid 54 to the workpiece; a fog flow meter 2 for measuring the flow of the atomized working fluid 54 and outputting a flow data signal indicating the measured flow; and a control device 4, to which a flow data signal is input, and which outputs the information for atomizing the working fluid as an atomizing data signal to the atomizer 3. The control device 4 controls the drive of the atomizer 3 so that the flow indicated by the flow data signal amounts to a preset flow by outputting an atomizing data signal to the atomizer based upon the flow data signal, whereby the flow of the atomized working fluid 54 can be kept constant to sufficiently perform lubrication and cooling for the heat.
