Viktor Kaljas at Bison Gear had a similar problem. His issue was with gear box oil that needed to be precisely metered and dispensed into his myriad models of fractional horse power gear boxes.

 

We developed a PLC based system with precision metering and repeatability, along with the provision for storing 200 different “recipes” to accommodate his various models. Viktor reports that productivity has increased appreciably, while returns due to lubricant based manufacturing errors have virtually disappeared.
