Fluid Dispensing System Targets Hard-to-Reach Spots



In some lubrication applications it may be difficult to get near the point that needs the fluid or lubricant. In other cases, a mist of lubricant may not acceptable for the surroundings.

"The Techno-Sommer Sharpshooter lubrication system addresses all of these challenges," said a company spokesperson. "The system works off standard shop air at up to 90 PSI and can place a drop of lubricant at up to 1 m away with pinpoint accuracy."

A pressurized tank generates internal pressures up to 750 PSI. When a pulse is generated, a fixed drop size is dispensed. Up to eight dispensing nozzles can be attached to one tank. The dispensing nozzles are available in four sizes ranging from 5 mm3 to 100 mm3. An extension hose of up to 2 m in length allows for the dispensing nozzle to be placed around corners and in hard to reach spots. The Sharpshooter will work with most fluids that do not contain solid particles or adhesives, with a viscosity range of 10 - 150 centi-Stokes (mm2/sec).
