Overcome the challenges of manual component lubrication.
In many production environments, component lubrication is still done manually – a process dependent on the experience and care of the workers. The lubricant is often applied with brushes, syringes, or manual applicators. However, this method presents several challenges: the dosage is inconsistent, resulting in either too little or too much lubricant being applied. This can impair product quality and cause unnecessary material consumption. Furthermore, the results are highly dependent on individual handling! Process variations are the logical consequence! In addition, long processing times reduce assembly efficiency.
Discover the standard solution for component-specific lubrication processes.
ReadyLube is a dosing device that is flexibly adaptable and has already proven its economic viability in small-batch production.
Standardized precision instead of manual uncertainty
ReadyLube replaces manual lubrication processes with operator-independent precision. Precise dosing and automated application eliminate quality variations, optimize material usage, and reduce scrap and rework.
Precise lubricant application – without contamination
ReadyLube applies lubricants with pinpoint accuracy; without bothersome brush bristles, excess material, or unwanted workplace contamination. This minimizes cleaning effort and ensures consistently high process quality.
A solution for multiple components? ReadyLube is adaptable.
ReadyLube is equipped with component-specific application heads and the application quantity is individually adjustable. By changing the application heads, different component series with varying geometries can be efficiently lubricated.
Compact dosing technology – easily integrated
Thanks to its compact design and autonomous operation, ReadyLube is ideally suited for use at manual assembly workstations as well as for integration into manual and semi-automated production lines. Its robust construction ensures a long service life and minimizes maintenance requirements.
Intelligently linked – more control over the process
ReadyLube is designed for use in new and existing production environments. The ADVANCED version extends the basic functionality with integrated process monitoring and enables seamless integration into control systems and sequence-controlled production lines.
ReadyLube is an economical alternative to custom solutions and can be used cost-effectively even in small-batch production. Its quick commissioning, user-friendly handling, and tool-free application head changes reduce setup times, lower operating costs, and increase productivity.
Component-specific application heads ensure the exact application of lubricant – tailored to the requirements of the respective lubrication point.
Application examples
External wetting
Lubrication of visible, functional external surfaces of components, e.g.: gears and joints to reduce friction and wear, bearing surfaces to ensure constant lubricity, seals and O-rings to improve assembly and service life.
Internal wetting
Lubrication of hard-to-reach component areas, e.g.: bores and bearing bushings for optimal lubricant distribution, internal joining points and threaded areas to minimize assembly forces, lubrication channels in assemblies to ensure long-term lubrication.
Selective lubrication
Spot lubrication of specific contact or movement points, e.g.: joint and ball bearings for precise motion control, rotary actuators and drive mechanisms for noise reduction and service life extension, damping elements in spring and hinge systems
Combined wetting
Synchronized internal and external lubrication of components with differentiated functional surfaces, e.g., plug-in and joining elements to reduce joining forces and prevent fretting corrosion in metallic connections, threaded connections, hollow cylinders
