In high-speed stamping lines, the lubricant film on sheet metal must be precisely controlled—too little risks galling and die wear, too much creates downstream cleaning issues and inconsistent surface quality. The metering unit sits between the lubricant pump and the spray nozzles, regulating flow in real time to match the press speed and material thickness. As the coil advances, the unit pulses calibrated volumes onto the die surfaces or directly onto the strip, ensuring each stroke receives the exact amount needed for friction reduction without excess runoff. Operators adjust the metering rate via a control panel linked to the press’s PLC, allowing quick adaptation when switching between aluminum, mild steel, or high-strength alloys. The same unit is often paired with a recirculation system in progressive dies, where it meters lubricant to individual stations without cross-contamination, maintaining consistent forming conditions across the entire tool. In adjacent motor vehicle manufacturing, it performs a similar role on transfer presses, where synchronized lubrication prevents scoring during deep-drawing operations.
