Annual savings of € 6.500,-
Lubrication and protection of pneumatic cylinders in a mechanical robot
Sector: Chemical industry
The lubricants this company was using, attracted polymer residues which tended to stick to the moving parts of the mechanical robot. This created sludge and consequently caused breakage of the pneumatic cylinders. The customer had to stop production every time a cylinder needed to be replaced.
Our solution
We recommended Interflon Lube TF (aerosol), a highly versatile, dry-film lubricant with MicPol technology.
The result
After switching to Interflon, the company achieved a significant reduction in interventions required to maintain their mechanical robot. This success translated into increased operator safety and efficiency.
- Longer cylinder service life: the new lubrication solution dramatically extended the lifespan of pneumatic cylinders.
- Prolonged lubrication intervals: the new lubricant also permitted longer periods between necessary lubrication, optimizing efficiency.
- Cost reduction: by mitigating the need for frequent cylinder replacements, substantial savings were realized.
- Enhanced operator safety: reduced risks of accidents for operators handling the mechanical robot.
- Increased focus time for operators: with fewer interruptions and smoother operations, operators had more time to concentrate on other activities.
The quantified annual savings exceeded €6,500, making it a clear win for the business and its bottom line.
