Flow Monitoring Control Sensors that monitor lubricant flow through the nozzles are becoming a reliable and valuable tool for production. As the tolerance for too much or too little lubricant becomes more stringent, flow monitors will verify proper flow. Should the lubricant flow fall outside of the process requirements, the ability to accurately monitor this flow can shut down the process if the limits are exceeded, preventing overproduction of scrap parts. Furthermore, an accurate total volume can be obtained per cycle, per hour, per shift etc. This totalizer can help track the usage of costly die lubricant and can assist in the future for quoting jobs. Troubleshooting Controls now have a critical diagnostic capability to allow ease of trouble shooting to keep your production running versus waiting for a service technician, sitting on the phone, or the Internet ‘searching for solutions.’ With the advanced and automated equipment on the market today, lubricant spraying is a process that should be part of your overall defect prevention program. 54 Contact: TROY TURNBULL [email protected]
