Robotic Greasing Station

Automation of rail greasing for a more stable and repeatable production process.
Manual greasing of components can lead to variation in both quantity and positioning. FiXar developed a robotic station that fully automates this process, significantly improving process stability and quality.

Automated Greasing with Consistent Quality

For this automotive application, FiXar developed a robotic station that automatically applies grease to rails and smaller components based on adjustable parameters.

Where the process was previously performed manually, the robot cell now ensures consistent and repeatable grease application in exactly the right locations. This eliminates quality variations and significantly reduces dependency on manual operations.

The automation solution was integrated into the existing production environment and developed according to FiXar’s standard approach: process analysis, robot cell engineering, tooling integration and system validation.

The result is a stable and reliable process, ready for 24/7 operation.

Results

FRequently asked questions

Why was the greasing process automated?

Rail greasing was originally performed manually, leading to variations in both grease quantity and positioning. Automating the process with a robotic station ensures consistent application and improves overall process stability.

What was the outcome of this automation?

The robotic station fully automated the greasing process, delivering consistent grease application and approximately 99% repeatability, without manual intervention.

In which industry was this solution applied?

This automation solution was developed for an automotive application, where process stability, short cycle times and repeatability are critical.

Can this type of automation be applied to other processes?

Yes. Robotic stations can be used for various production processes such as assembly, handling, dosing or inspection. FiXar develops each solution based on the specific process and production environment.
