Dry lubricant and corrosion protection spray reduces production downtime on industrial automation systems
Improving manufacturing productivity needs increasing numbers of robots , handling and positioning systems and conveyors which in factory environments need both scheduled and emergency maintenance plans to ensure continuous reliability . Failure of any part of the system will result in downtime and seriously disrupt production .
SuperCORR A from EnviroTech Europe is an innovative thin film dry lubricant spray with corrosion protective properties which does not attract dust or dirt , is stable and coats surfaces with an ultra-thin , self-healing , lubricant film unaffected by water or solvents and resistant to harsh corrosive atmospheres and high temperatures .
A recent case affected some clients of specialist cleaning equipment manufacturer C & C Hydrosonics a division of U . S giant Crest Ultrasonics to solve a problem occurring on x-y axis linear tracks on the Transystem automatic handling system fitted to enclosed multi tank cleaning systems both aqueous and solvent based .
Transystem automatic handling systems are programmable to automatically process baskets or jigs through liquid immersion cleaning cycles , transferring between the tanks , lowering and raising work between the tanks of cleaning liquids . The motorised carriages use nylon wheels running on case hardened mild steel tracks which can corrode during immersion and in the harsh humid atmospheres within the machine canopies .
Corrosion prevents smooth running with wheels seizing and binding on the tracks . Vibration can then cause components to be shaken from jigs or in extreme cases the carriage will stall requiring intervention by maintenance engineers to physically remove surface corrosion and re-lubricate tracks with oil . This is only a temporary measure as the oil is quickly removed by the solvents or water-based cleaning solutions with corrosion reoccurring in a short time .
Extensive trials over a six-month period with both water and solvent based systems demonstrated that SuperCORR A offered a simple solution to the problem with no corrosion of tracks or seizures during the trial period . Previously seizures needing attention occurred every few weeks now an aerosol spray of SuperCORR A is used only during normal service visits and is used as the routine lubricant during manufacture of the handling system .
Lee Casey , Managing Director of C & C Hydrosonics is delighted with the cost savings on reduced service and maintenance calls using SuperCORR A and that the inconvenience for users of the Transystem equipment has been eliminated . Use of SuperCORR A is recommended on all Crest handling systems worldwide . Reduce maintenance costs and protect automation equipment with SuperCORR A , now available from EnviroTech Europe Ltd and distributors worldwide .
