Smart Greasing Solution Yields 50% Maintenance Reduction and Cost Savings

About the company

A leading precision engineering facility was encountering issues with excessive noise during CNC chuck operations. Their existing greasing solution required frequent application, twice a week, using 50 grams each time, resulting in increased maintenance time and operating costs. Additionally, they were incurring monthly expenses of ₹640 per CNC, contributing to an annual cost of ₹77k for 10 CNC machines. The company sought a cost-effective and performance-enhancing alternative that could eliminate noise and reduce lubrication frequency.

The Challenge

The Solution

Lubeco Futuristic Greases introduced Azure Chuck Paste, a high-performance speciality grease specifically formulated for chuck greasing applications. The product was trialled with an initial sampling of 1 kg and evaluated over 27 days. The trial aimed to:

  • Eliminate noise from the chuck operation

  • Reduce lubrication frequency

  • Provide superior water repellency and corrosion protection

  • Cut down overall maintenance costs

The Results

  • The paste successfully eliminated operational noise from the CNC chucks.
  • Lubrication frequency was reduced to once a week, using the same quantity (50g), thereby cutting the total monthly consumption by 50%.
  • Monthly lubrication costs dropped to ₹280 per CNC, leading to an estimated annual saving of ₹43k across 10 CNC machines.
  • Operators reported smoother chuck performance and enhanced water repellency, resulting in zero corrosion.

The customer approved the product for regular use, citing substantial operational and economic benefits.
