Fluid management refers to the entirety of services relating to liquid working media. This includes analyzing (monitoring) and conditioning operating media, as well as recording and evaluating consumption. The term refers in particular to:<\/p>\n

Hydraulic oils from work machines<\/p>\n

Cooling lubricants<\/p>\n

Fluid management for hydraulic oils is an important part of machine and system maintenance and is unfortunately still often neglected or carried out improperly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

During my training as a toolmaker in the punching and forming technology department (it was a few days ago :-)), the task of the trainees in the first year of training was to \u201cmaintain\u201d the machines, usually on Mondays. For the most part, these were simple lathes, milling machines and other cutting machines, including CNC-controlled machines.<\/p>\n

We were \u201callowed\u201d to clean and lubricate the guides and check and refill the central lubrication system. We also changed a filter from time to time. It was important that we used the right oil. I can’t guarantee that this was always adhered to 100%, after all it was a Monday and when you’re 17 or 18 you have other things to worry about at 7:00 in the morning… At the time, this activity really annoyed me, even though I made the most of the time for detailed discussions with colleagues.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Today, some 20 years later, I see things differently and sometimes miss the commitment of those responsible in a wide variety of areas and companies. The machines and systems are more complex, more expensive, partially automated down to the last corner and yet there is a lack of awareness and understanding of this issue.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In contrast to back then, I now enjoy supporting companies with these tasks. We therefore update this website from time to time with information on a wide range of topics relating to oil care.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

If we assume that the machine and system manufacturer has implemented a holistic, well-thought-out concept for oil supply, filtration and lubrication, the main topics are as follows:<\/p>\n
