The UNIST Uni-Roller® S2 HG lubricator is designed to apply a uniform layer of lubricant to heavy-gauge metal coil stock. Its articulating chassis allows the upper rollers to open up to 152 mm (6 in.), making material loading easier and preventing damage to the system when the leading or trailing ends of the coil stock are deformed.
Thanks to its internally-fed rollers, the Uni-Roller® S2 HG provides precise and consistent lubrication on both sides of the material. It helps reduce lubricant consumption, protect stamping dies, and maintain a cleaner working environment.
The Uni-Roller® S2 HG delivers the same smooth and consistent fluid application the industry has come to expect from Unist, and adds an articulating chassis. The upper rollers opens a full 6” [152 mm] to avoid deformities in the head or tail of coil stock, making loading easier and preventing damage to the lubricator itself.
Coil-Fed Stamping
That's what many of our customers report. By applying the proper amount of fluid, the Uni-Roller® S2 Powered lubricator uses 50 to 90% less lubricant for stock lubrication. Plus it decreases the mess, the parts cleaning, fluid recycling and costs associated with in-die spray systems, rag technology and externally lubricated rollers.
Ensures even and consistent coating on one or both sides of stock
Roller cover replacements take minutes to swap in
Designed to withstand the harshest industrial conditions
The internally-supplied rollers are essential to precisely applying the fluid. Inside each of the rollers is a dispenser tube with small holes placed along its length. Fluid is injected into the dispenser tubes from the fluid controller and dispensed across the inside of the rollers. The lubricant is transferred to the stock through durable polyester felt or polyurethane foam roller covers. These cover materials apply the lubricant smoothly and evenly across both the top and bottom of the stock.
The Uni-Roller® S2 HG applies the exact amount of lubricant required. This eliminates the mess and waste associated with in-die spray systems and externally lubricated roller systems. The result is not only a cleaner shop, but also significant savings from decreased fluid waste, improved die life, better part quality and increased machine up-time. Many customers have reported savings resulting in a return on investment of less than six months!
The brushed stainless steel guards protect the rollers and guide material when loading coil stock or feeding blanks. With the guards removed for better access, a roller can be changed in about a minute using a single wrench. The Uni-Roller® S2 HG is built to handle any manufacturing environment without sacrificing ease of maintenance.
Choose from polyurethane foam or polyester felt roller covers
Choose between a low volume or standard dispenser tube
Solenoid or manual valve control
Single or double pneumatic air cylinders for maintaining pressure on stock
Provides an input signal to a SmartFlow® controller based on roller rotation. Select when an intermittent signal from press is not available
Stock applicators require a pressurized fluid supply. We offer a range of options for size and configuration.
Provides a SmartFlow® alarm to alert operators of roller air supply issues, helping prevent missed lubrication and improve process reliability.
