OverviewDesigned for precise, repeatable application of low- to high-viscosity lubricants, the MicroCoat® MC781 pulsed lubrication system reduces lubricant use and improves cleanliness and process control in metal forming and die casting operations. A single system coats stock up to 6" (152 mm) wide; multiple systems can be combined for wider coverage. Typical configuration includes a lubricant reservoir, one or more application valves, and a valve controller.
Features & Benefits- Controlled, uniform coverage from any angle
- Operates in pulsed or steady (continuous) modes
- Oil savings of up to 90% versus conventional methods
- Precise, reliable application with low maintenance
- Expandable modular system to cover larger areas
- Flexible feed options: tanks, pumps, or central supply
- Handles a wide range of lubricant viscosities
Applications- In-die lubrication
- Blanks, sheet, or coil-fed stock
- Drawing, piercing, and crimping operations
- Pulsed lubrication (up to 300 pulses per minute)
- Tube forming
System ConfigurationThe system typically comprises a lubricant reservoir, one or more application valves, and a valve controller. Systems may be fed from tanks, pumps, or a central fluid distribution system and can be combined or expanded to cover multiple lanes or wider stock.
