A system and method for applying lubricant to a surface, such as a heating surface of a fuser member. The system includes lubricant conduit for carrying pressurized lubricant toward a spraying assembly. A heating element surrounds the lubricant conduit and heats the pressurized lubricant before it arrives at the spraying assembly. The system also includes a pair of double O-ring sealing assemblies for sealingly coupling a lubricant tube to the system.

Driving systems for tools used with metal-fabricating presses or other machines, whereby planetary gears are used in the systems, and whereby the driving systems can be constructed for use with particular tooling, such as tapping tools, and complementary systems can be exemplarily configured for use with such driving systems. The driving systems can enable enhanced tool output as compared to conventional driving mechanisms, while also enabling variable disassembly and configuration of the systems relative to the intended machining operations.

A lubricant injection system is provided, which includes a pedestal, a robotic arm including a plurality of arm bodies sequentially coupled from pedestal, lubricant injecting hand having a discharge part configured to be sequentially coupled to each of a plurality of filler ports of a target machine, robot control device configured to control operation of robotic arm, a lubricant pumping device in which pumping of lubricant is controlled, a lubricant pumping channel configured to lead lubricant from the lubricant pumping device to the discharge part, and a flow rate sensor provided to the lubricant pumping channel and configured to send the detected flow rate information to the robot control device. Robot control device calculates an injection quantity based on the flow rate information sent from flow rate sensor, and when calculated injection quantity reaches target injection quantity, robot control device controls to stop pumping of lubricant.

A tire bead lubricating system for applying lubricant to a tire consists of a frame supporting conveyor belts which form a conveyor opening therebetween. The conveyor belts transfer a tire from one end of the frame to another. A lubricating wick chamber is maintained within the frame and positioned underneath the conveyor opening. A lubricating wick assembly is received in the lubricating wick chamber and moves into the conveyor opening. The lubricating wick assembly has at least one engagement roller and at least one elongate brush that carries lubricant applied to the tire.

An automatic lubrication robot includes a robot, a grease hose, and a delivery unit. The robot includes a lifting and lowering unit that moves linearly and an arm coupled to the lifting and lowering unit, and the robot is arranged in a clean room to perform an operation. Grease for lubricating the robot passes through the grease hose. In response to the linear movement of the lifting and lowering unit, the delivery unit delivers the grease to the robot via the grease hose.
