V-Series System

Systems have independently programmable spray lines and can spray lubricants with viscosities up to 100 SUS, which is equivalent to most water-soluble type lubricants that are mixed with 3 or more parts water to 1 part lube. Systems can be provided with or without a reservoir, with or without control, and can be arranged for dual lube applications. Reduction of Die Lubricant Usage – By applying only the lubricant you need only where you need it, and by also collecting excess lubricant and draining it back into the Pax system reservoir, many Pax customers have reduced their lubricant usage by over 50%. Increased Production, Tooling Life, and Part Quality – Proper lubrication can greatly reduce the amount of heat and friction that occur on both the part and the tool, which can increase tooling life and allow higher production speeds with improved part quality. Improved Working Conditions – A clean environment improves workers’ attitudes. The Pax system applies die lubricant to only the defined critical areas – not to the side of the press, the feeder, or the floor. Airless Spray No air is mixed with the pressurized lubricant supplied to the spray lines. This results in an “airless” spray that better adheres to the material and creates much less air-borne lubrication than air-atomized sprays. Capable of Spraying Fluids of Various Viscosities Air pressure can be regulated as required for different viscosity fluids. For fluids with a viscosity higher than 100 SUS, it is important to identify the supplier and viscosity of the fluid so Pax may provide the most efficient configuration for the application. Independently Programmable Spray Lines Each solenoid valve can be independently controlled and may be programmed to spray at different intervals, and for different durations (minimum 20 milli-seconds) during a press cycle. Pax’s optional PLC control or an alternate, existing control be utilized to operate the system. No Priming Issues A large diaphragm pump supplies filtered fluid to the individual spray lines at pressures up to 100 psi. Reduced Maintenance The system requires no airline lubrication, requires no dynamic seals, and no accumulators.
