Stock & die lubrication systems

Precilube Incorporated offers Stock & die lubrication systems. These are systems designed for stampers, by a stamper. The two main reasons for applying In-Die lubricant are to reduce friction and dissipate heat. Heat can build up between the tool surface and metal, causing lubricant to break down. This results in metal-to-metal contacts and galling. One needs a better method for application of in-die lubrication methods to improve on tool life and higher outputs with lesser downtimes. There are many methods for applying lubricants, one of the most efficient methods of applying lubricant is the airless spray techniques. Pax Products Inc, USA has developed an airless application system with individually adjustable lubricant dispensers/nozzles. The system will operate with controls of the press or independent of press, based on the configuration of the lube system. The system also has facility of recycling of the lubricant from the press back to the reservoir of the lube system. Since Pax Inc has its own stamping facilities, these systems are the practical, workable solutions used to solve the problems related to stampings. These systems are "pre-pressurised". The lubricant is supplied to the manifold under pressure. A constant and consistent supply of lubricant is provided. As long as there is a supply of lubricant in the reservoir, there will always be lubricant available at the distribution pumps. It also means that the distribution pumps work more efficiently because no priming is required. Benefits: increased production speeds, improved part quality, extended die life and decreased lube consumption.
