Routine Maintenance and Lubrication of CNC Plasma Tables, Robotics and More



Fluoramics offers a complete line of industrial greases and lubricants for CNC plasma cutting tables, CNC routers, CNC lathe milling equipment, CO2 laser engravers, automation, robotics and CAD/CAM and CNC machinery.

High Temperature Spindle Grease is available in a variety of packages and sizes, including a grease cartridge that is compatible with a standard 14 oz grease gun (not included) to lube grease fittings, points, rails, bearings and slides.

Fluoramics offers a complete line of industrial greases and lubricants for CNC plasma cutting tables, CNC routers, CNC lathe milling equipment, CO2 laser engravers, automation, robotics and CAD/CAM and CNC machinery.

"Professionals know keeping up with routine maintenance and lubrication of machines will ensure smooth operation, extend equipment life and prevent expensive failures by allowing friction-prone parts to move smoothly with less wear," said a company spokesperson. "To get on top of lubrication, facilities need a plan that puts the right lubricants in the right places at the right time for X- and Y-axis guide rails, Z-axis screws, chain drives, ball bearings, linear bearings, pulleys, wheels, motors, gears, rollers, ball screws, moving parts and automatic lubrication pumps."

Tufoil Compu-Lube is specially designed for robotics, 3D printers, computer fans and high-speed mechanisms. This member of the Tufoil Technology family is a lightweight synthetic oil for fine bearings, guide rails, plastic/metal gears, threaded rods and other moving parts. It lubricates, acts as a cleaning agent and helps prevent rust. It has a high dielectric constant and is safe with electronics and electromechanical devices. Compu-Lube is available in a convenient dropper tip bottle.

Another product, Chain, Wire & Cable, lubricates and protects against corrosion on chain drives and rails on cutting devices such as plasma, waterjet, laser and CNC cutters. It is available in an aerosol spray can or quart and gallon jugs.

Tufoil High Temperature Spindle Grease is an odorless lubricant based on colloids of PTFE and soluble molybdenum (moly). High Temperature Spindle Grease is stable in excessive heat and will not melt or run with heat, even in direct flame. It reduces friction and wear between moving parts in high-speed and high-heat environments. This NLGI Grade 2 High Temperature Spindle Grease is available in a variety of packages and sizes including a grease cartridge that is compatible with a standard 14 oz grease gun (not included) to lube grease fittings, points, rails, bearings and slides. This product is suited for all types of automated metalforming, metalcutting, fabricating, welding, finishing, CAM and CNC table machinery.

For CNC devices with electronic auto lubrication, Tufoil for Industrial Use reduces wear, noise, vibrations and friction while improving production and cutting downtime. It reduces heat and operating oil temperatures, lowers starting torque, extends oil-drain intervals, eliminates sheet metal cracking, cuts waste and speeds production. For optimum results, add Industrial Tufoil to the reservoir or sump capacity when changing the system's oil.
