Overcome the challenges of hand-applied component lubrication.
In many manufacturing environments, component lubrication is still carried out by hand—a process that relies on the experience and precision of the worker. Lubricant is often applied using brushes, syringes, or manual applicators. However, this method presents several challenges: dosing is inconsistent, meaning that either too little or too much lubricant is applied, which can impair product quality and lead to unnecessary material consumption. Additionally, the results depend heavily on individual handling, making process fluctuations inevitable. Long processing times further reduce assembly efficiency.
Discover the standard solution for component-specific lubrication processes.
ReadyLube is a dosing device that offers flexible adaptability and already proves itself to be economical in small-batch production.
Standardised precision instead of manual uncertainty
ReadyLube replaces hand-guided lubrication processes with operator-independent precision. Exact dosing and automated application eliminate quality fluctuations, optimize material usage, and reduce waste as well as rework.
Precise lubricant application – without contamination
ReadyLube applies lubricant with pinpoint accuracy – without annoying brush hairs, excess material or unwanted contamination of workstations. This minimises cleaning and ensures consistently high process quality.
One solution for multiple components? ReadyLube is adaptable
ReadyLube is equipped with component-specific application heads and the discharge quantity can be adjusted. The quick change of the heads means that different component series with varying geometries can be lubricated efficiently.
Compact dosing technology – very easy to integrate
Thanks to its compact design and autonomous operation, ReadyLube is ideal for use at manual assembly workstations and for integration into manual and semi-automated manufacturing lines. Its robust construction ensures long service life and minimizes maintenance efforts.
Intelligently connected – get more control over the process
ReadyLube is designed for use in both new and existing production environments. The ADVANCED version expands the basic functionality with integrated process monitoring and enables seamless integration into control systems and step-sequence-controlled production lines.
Lower costs, higher efficiency – ReadyLube saves resources
ReadyLube is a cost-effective alternative to custom solutions and is already economical in small-series production. Fast commissioning, user-friendly operation, and tool-free application head changes shorten setup times, reduce operating costs, and increase productivity.
Component-specific application heads ensure precise lubricant application – perfectly tailored to the requirements of each lubrication point.
Application example: External lubrication
Lubrication of visible, functional external surfaces of components, e.g.: gears and joining points to reduce friction and wear, bearing surfaces to ensure consistent sliding properties, seals and O-rings to improve assembly and extend service life.
Application example: Internal lubrication
Lubrication of hard-to-reach component areas, e.g.: bores and bearing bushings for optimal lubricant distribution, internal joining points and threaded sections to minimize assembly forces, lubrication channels in assemblies to ensure long-term lubrication effectiveness.
Application example: Selective lubrication
Spot lubrication of specific contact or motion points, e.g.: joint and ball bearings for precise motion guidance, rotary actuators and drive mechanisms for noise reduction and extended service life, damping elements in spring and hinge systems.
Application example: Combined lubrication
Synchronized internal and external lubrication of components with differentiated functional surfaces, e.g.: plug and press-fit elements to reduce joining forces and prevent fretting corrosion in metallic connections, threaded fasteners, hollow cylinders.
