Problem
Lubrication directly affects metal flow, die life, part quality, press uptime, operator housekeeping, and total operating cost. Too little lubrication can increase friction, wear tooling, create part-quality issues, and drive downtime; too much lubrication can create waste, mess, disposal costs, quality concerns, and inconsistent process control.
VMS helps customers select lubrication management solutions that match the forming process, material, die requirements, pressroom layout, and fluid control goals. This can include stand-alone press-side systems, plant-wide mixing and distribution, spray lubrication, roll coating, lube reclamation, inline concentration monitoring, and fluid management support.
What VMS delivers
- Matched to the process
- Recommendations based on material, forming process, part geometry, die requirements, lubricant type, application method, press layout, production volume and plant fluid-management goals.
- Lubrication management
- Lube mixing, spray systems, roll coating, reclamation, tote racks, in-plant distribution, inline refractometer monitoring and process diagnostics.
- Quality and waste
- Better part quality, less die wear, consistent forming, less lubricant waste, cleaner housekeeping and lower disposal or removal costs.
- Single point of contact
- Equipment selection, controls, installation planning, startup, training, service and ongoing support.
Proof
VMS proposed a Pro-Mix V double lubricant mixing system for Camaco with Allen-Bradley controls, stainless steel reservoirs, variable-speed drive assemblies, mixture ratio display, automated distribution, alarms, diagnostics, containment, and inline refractometer monitoring to support controlled lubricant blending and distribution.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
When should a customer evaluate their lubrication system?
Customers should evaluate lubrication when they experience die wear, inconsistent part quality, galling, excessive lubricant use, press mess, fluid disposal costs, poor concentration control, operator guesswork, maintenance issues, or process instability.
What is the difference between spray lubrication, roll coating, and mixing systems?
Spray lubrication applies lubricant to targeted areas of the material or die, roll coating applies a controlled film across material surfaces, and mixing systems control lubricant-to-water ratios before distribution. The right approach depends on the forming process, material, lubricant, surface requirements, and plant layout.
Can lube reclamation reduce lubricant and disposal costs?
Yes. Reclamation systems can help separate and reuse lubricants instead of sending fluids directly to disposal. VMS materials note that Reclaim Pro systems are known for reducing lubrication requirements by as much as 70% while also decreasing machine downtime.
What information is needed to recommend a lubrication system?
Helpful information includes material type, part geometry, die details, current lubricant type, current application method, press or line details, production volume, quality issues, fluid usage, disposal costs, concentration requirements, available space, utilities, controls preferences, and whether the goal is application, mixing, distribution, reclamation, or a full lubrication management program.
