Blechexpo 2019: Precision lubrication, corrosion protection, retrofitting for press shops

Bretten, Germany - Eckardt Systems highlights a variety of topics at the upcoming Blechexpo trade fair in Stuttgart. The specialist for lubrication, cleaning and preserving technology introduces a new control concept for its lubrication systems. The multifaceted issue of corrosion protection also takes center stage as do innovative retrofitting concepts for press shops. In addition, the company shows a budget version of the EOS spray lubrication system.

The revised system control concept includes a touchscreen colour display and provides multilingual support. Interaction with the press line has been enhanced by a couple of featrues such as the automatic change of lubricant recipies and the communication of component and system malfunction. Among the many setup and control option addeds are the separate activation of spray patterns with regard to blank or coil widths and the individual control of the top and bottom stroke when roller lubrication systems are connected in series.

The spray chamber of the EOS X system for blank and coil widths of up to 2100 mm is also on display at Blechexpo. Eckardt positions the machine with its compact, robust design and streamlined functionality as a space saving, cost-effective solution among the EOS spray lubricator model range.

Retrofitting is another core which gets its share of attention in Stuttgart. Eckardt focuses on the combination and joint control of dry cleaning and spray lubrication and the substantial benefits it holds in store for the workflows in the press shop regarding process reliability, saving resources and overall work efficiency.

Eckardt makes the business segment of corrosion protection another focus of its participation at Blechexpo. The company offers solutions for the protection of components with exposed metal parts following the hot forming process as well as for the coating of parts following welding and riveting. Purpose-built hybrid systems provide electrostatic spraying which makes the oil adhere much better to perpendicular or cylindrically shaped surfaces. In comparison with competitive products the Eckardt corrosion protection systems include a larger spraying chamber with more spray nozzles distributed across the whole width, so that all areas even of the most individually shaped surfaces can be reached.
