Precise Oil Delivery in 5 Seconds

New controller easily updates fluid dispense system, eliminating manual pouring and weighing for motor manufacturer.

Accuracy within 1 percent No Problem with ProDispense

CUSTOMER: Electric motor manufacturer

GRACO EQUIPMENT: ProDispense System Control Module

CHALLENGE: The displays controlling the fluid dispense system used by an electric motor manufacturer were so outdated that they went back to manual methods. To fill small gearboxes with 1 to 3 ounces of oil, production line operators would set each gearbox on a scale and pour oil into it from a measuring cup, until the scale showed the right amount.

The manufacturing engineering manager knew this slow, inefficient approach couldn’t continue. But he didn’t have the budget for a new system.

Besides, the fluid panels in their current fluid dispense system were working well. All they needed were updated controllers with which operators could set precise shots of oil. Accuracy within 1 percent required.

SOLUTION: After considering other options, the manufacturing engineering manager found that the new ProDispense System Control Module fit well into their current fluid dispense system.

ProDispense System Control Module shows system status and has a keypad in which production line operators can set fluid dispense recipes.

RESULTS: The ProDispense controller eliminated the manual pouring and weighing of motor gearboxes along the production line. With minimal training, operators set recipes to fill each gearbox with exact amounts of oil.

The five seconds it now takes to fill each gearbox is at least twice as fast as the old method. The shots of oil delivered remain precise. Accuracy within 1 percent is no problem.
