[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 743618, member: 25383"] the shop I came out of had oilers that were assigned a set of machines to check. Over a week they would end up checking a hundred or so machines (maybe more), plus they also did the geasing and P.M. as well. Normally they would trade off the grease work, and that had a guy climbing all over a machine. Usually got done on weekends when it was idol. He had a truck that must have had thirty different kinds of grease plus several small grease guns With todays 10K spindles we've found that too much lube is as bad as not enough. Next to dirt, heat is the killer of ball bearings 80% of the time. Probably the best lube system for ball bearings (high speed setups) was the old spray mist systems (now outlawed) Best setups I ever was around used oil injectors that literally put a drop of oil in a certain location at certain intervals. For way lube, I still prefer the good old Trabon systems. I was always guilty of installing way too many prox switches on lube systems to help a guy trouble shoot a lube fault. They'd bitch about spending an extra six to eight hundred dollars, but never whine when they guy fixed it in minutes instead of hours at $350K an hour.
