MQL uses small amounts of lubricant applied directly to the workpiece

November 6, 2018 - Industrial Innovations', Grandville, Michigan, Spra-Rite Roll Coating system features a solid roll in sizes from 12-in. to 80., enabling the roller to be changed within minutes while the external roller lubricant application feature helps to ease maintenance. The Roll Coaters are designed to provide precise and uniform lubricant coverage on parts prior to the stamping operation, helping to improve quality and minimize waste.

Roll coaters provide an environmentally friendly approach to lubricant application by transferring lubricant from the surface of the roller directly to the surface of a part.  The systems feature programmable independent fluid control for adjusting the thickness of the lubricant transferred to the part.

Whereas most roll coaters are comprised of 6-in. to 12-in. rollers, which are connected to achieve the final roll size, the Spra-Rite systems feature a solid, one-piece, quick release roller. This can reduce changeover time from over an hour to minutes.

Additionally, these roll coaters offer simple coil feed installation with coil or power feed capability, automatic press control communication and 200-part recipe capability.  These roll coaters can also accommodate Spra-Rite manifolds, an added benefit for existing Industrial Innovations’ customers.

March 29, 2018 -  RÖHM Products of America has introduced a fast, intelligent and fully automatic lubrication device for HSK spindle tool clamping systems. The new device is called Lubritool, and it minimizes costly and time-consuming manual lubrication maintenance work as well as prevents machine downtime.

Lubritool is available in HSK-A63 and HSK-A100 interfaces and includes a Lubriflux grease cartridge that provides 100 cycle applications. The device is stored in the machine’s tool magazine and upon command by the machine’s control is swapped into the spindle to provide the ideal amount of lubrication directly to the tool clamping system. After the lubrication process, which occurs in just a few seconds, Lubritool is placed back into the tool magazine where it remains until the next lubrication cycle.

HSK clamping sets should be serviced after approximately 75 hours of operation or 20,000 tool changes to ensure process reliability. The manual lubrication process usually requires the machine to be shut down, which interrupts workflow to the point where operators will extend the time between lubrications or neglect the process altogether. Deviations from the optimum lubrication protocols can result in machine performance deterioration and/or failure.

WD-40 Spray & Stay no-drip gel lubricant works on vertical surfaces and moving parts where lubrication needs to stay put. The gel-like formula has self-healing technology that softens to lubricate when there’s friction, and when the friction stops, it solidifies again to protect against rust and corrosion.
