Manual lubrication, flexible and ergonomic: EOS Move by Eckardt

Bretten/Germany, July 2019: Eckardt Systems, manufacturer of lubrication, cleaning and preservation systems for industrial production, introduces a new spray nozzle system for manual blank lubrication: EOS Move.

In comparision with conventional systems EOS Move swaps roles, since it is the spray bar that moves – not the blank. This enables the entire process – blank insertion, blank lubrication and blank removal – to be conducted requiring significantly less working space, and the machine operator to work much more ergonomically.

Measuring ca. 2,20 x 1,60 x 1 m (H x L x W) and weighing some 500 kg in the standard version, the EOS Move system can be fixed on the floor or mounted on reels for mobile use. It processes blanks of up to 600 x 600 mm in size, the seating of which - as well as the entire system - can be adjusted according to individual user requirements. The standard configuration includes 2 x 6 spray nozzles attached to the spray bar.

Just as in a scanner the spray bar traverses the blank surface and applies the lubricant. While reversing, the operator or roboter changes the blanks at freely selectable intervals. The oil reservoir/oil supply, exhaust equipment and control system are permanently attached to the machine. This also allows for flexible, customer-specific configurations, e.g. in the shape of several oil reservoirs connected „in series“. The system applies standard technology and components manufactured by Eckardt such as the EDS control unit introduced in early 2018.

„On site one is often confronted with adverse conditions while manually operating a lubrication system,“ says Daniel Assmann, head of the sales department at Eckardt Systems. „This is usually the case when the blanks move through the machine and the operator has to insert and remove them while taking a less than ideal working position. In the new EOS Move we have eradicated this flaw, since it is no longer required to move back and forth in tight spaces and change one’s grip in a rather cumbersome way.“

Founded in 1992 Eckardt Systems manufactures lubrication systems as well as cleaning and preservation systems for industrial production. Today, the second generation of this family-run company employs some 30 people.

The product range includes roller lubricators, squeeze-on lubricators and spray systems, available in different versions for different widths of materials. Eckardt also produces oil mist separators and complete systems to customer-specific specifications. as well as customized systems, for example for hydroforming (IHU). In addition, the company offers numerous spray and spit nozzles as well as dosing systems for the lubrication segment. We also supply lubricants and oils under our own brand name ROTOL.

Furthermore, Eckardt serves the process field preserving with corrosion protection systems, which are used primarily in the hot forming process as well as to prepare parts and assemblies for transport. The dry cleaning systems for sheet metal and blanks offer an economical, environmentally-friendly low maintenance alternative to the wet cleaning systems often in use.

Eckardt produces all of its systems and plant at the company headquarters in Bretten, near Karlsruhe, Germany. The depth of our in-house manufacturing capabilities is widely recognized. We run our own electronics development department as well as a nozzle testing laboratory dedicated to optimizing spraying processes and performing fault analyses in customer systems.

Eckardt offers its customers comprehensive advice on all aspects of the lubrication process beginning with an extensive survey of the production environment through to the best-possible integration in upstream and downstream process steps. In the field of engineering Eckardt technology is adapted to precisely suit existing conditions and processes on site and can be individually modified to meet requirements. Installation, commissioning and general system refurbishments round off the spectrum.

The company serves customers in all regions of the world. We focus on the automotive and supplier industries; however, small companies offering sheet metal punching services also profit from our know-how as manufacturer of quality products.
