Automotive production lines combine precision machining, robotic assembly and metal pressing. Fluids must both guarantee part surface quality and keep pace with high production-line speed.
Industry Challenges
What You're Up Against
High machining precision
Engine and gearbox part surface quality depends on the cutting fluid's correct performance.
High production-line speed
Reduced lubrication downtime has a direct effect on output.
Diverse work stations
From metal presses to assembly robotics, each station has different lubrication needs.
Applications
Where It Applies in This Industry
Engine component machining
Cutting fluid for high surface precision.
Body panel presses
Hydraulic lubrication for metal-forming presses.
