WHEN MANUAL GREASING SLOWS DOWN YOUR LINE

Keeping large, multi-axis robots running at peak performance requires precise, consistent lubrication. But manual grease application is imprecise, labor-intensive and difficult to schedule around continuous production demands.

When maintenance gets deferred or grease is applied inconsistently, the risks add up fast and unplanned downtime can stall an entire assembly line. For managers balancing production targets with equipment reliability, this is a problem worth solving.

A SMARTER WAY TO GREASE YOUR ROBOTS

AMSOIL Industrial GreaseWorx pairs an automated lubrication system with advanced grease technology, giving your maintenance team a faster, more consistent way to protect every robot on the line. Instead of relying on manual application and technician judgment, GreaseWorx delivers the exact amount of grease, at the correct pressure, to every joint, every time.

INSIDE THE GREASEWORX SYSTEM

GreaseWorx combines two purpose-built components:
AMSOIL Industrial RoboGreaser: A mobile lubrication unit containing an automated system that applies the specified amount of grease at the correct pressure, protecting seals and sensitive gearbox components across every axis.

AMSOIL Industrial TRIBOLUBE® VG-0: An advanced grease formulated with proprietary asperity-suppression technology for maximum protection against gear wear during extended production runs. It's compatible with manufacturer-recommended robot greases, so switching over doesn't mean reworking your existing maintenance plan.

BUILT TO SUPPORT YOUR MAINTENANCE PRIORITIES

Precise Application
GreaseWorx ensures efficient and exact greasing of six-axis robot joints, protecting seals and sensitive gearbox components from the imprecision that comes with manual application.

Superior Protection
TRIBOLUBE VG-0's anti-wear technology is engineered to maximize equipment life and production uptime, even during extended production runs.

Maximize Productivity
Automated lubrication can be completed by one person in less than one hour, freeing up your maintenance team for other priorities.

Safer Workplace
By automating a task that once required hands-on access to hazardous machinery, GreaseWorx minimizes technician exposure to occupational safety hazards.

AMSOIL Industrial GreaseWorx^™ automates robot lubrication, cutting maintenance time and protecting your multi-axis robots from costly wear.

Manual greasing costs more than you think — in labor, downtime and wear. Schedule a demo and get a custom GreaseWorx savings analysis for your robotic applications.

UP TO FIVE TIMES FASTER* THAN MANUAL APPLICATIONS

In internal testing on a six-axis FANUC R-2000iA/200FO in a controlled environment, the AMSOIL Industrial RoboGreaser completed a grease exchange in 38 minutes, compared to four hours and eight minutes using manual methods.

That's a difference of more than three hours per robot, freeing time your team can redirect toward other maintenance priorities instead of standing at a joint with a grease gun.

*Based on internal testing comparing average per-robot grease exchange time using manual methods (4 hrs., 8 min.) versus the AMSOIL Industrial RoboGreaser (38 min.) on a six-axis FANUC R-2000iA/200FO in a controlled environment. Results may vary depending on robot model, site conditions and technician experience.

A Program Built to Improve Your Operational Efficiency

Every GreaseWorx program is customized to your specific robotic needs, not a generic maintenance package. AMSOIL Industrial Application Engineers work directly with your team to understand your equipment, your production schedule and your maintenance goals, then build a program around application-specific automation that keeps your robots operating at maximum efficiency, precision and performance.

FAQs

What is AMSOIL Industrial GreaseWorx?

GreaseWorx is an automated robot lubrication program that pairs the AMSOIL Industrial RoboGreaser with TRIBOLUBE® VG-0 grease to service large, multi-axis industrial robots. Instead of relying on a technician with a grease gun, the RoboGreaser dispenses a precise, metered charge of grease at controlled pressure to each axis.

The result is consistent lubrication across every joint, every cycle — no more guessing whether a robot got too little grease or too much.

How does GreaseWorx compare to manual greasing?

GreaseWorx delivers more consistent, repeatable results than manual greasing because the RoboGreaser applies an exact volume of grease at a controlled pressure to every axis, regardless of who's running the job that day. Manual greasing depends on technician experience and can lead to under- or over-application, both of which stress seals and gearbox components.

GreaseWorx also completes the job significantly faster than hand-greasing, freeing technicians for higher-value maintenance work.

How fast is the RoboGreaser compared to manual methods?

The RoboGreaser is up to 5x faster* than manual greasing. In internal testing on a six-axis FANUC R-2000iA/200FO, the RoboGreaser completed a full grease exchange in 38 minutes, compared to 4 hours and 8 minutes by hand — a savings of more than three hours per robot.

Results may vary depending on robot model, site conditions and technician experience.

Is TRIBOLUBE VG-0 compatible with my current robot greases?

Yes, TRIBOLUBE® VG-0 is compatible with manufacturer-recommended robot greases, so switching to GreaseWorx doesn't require overhauling your existing maintenance approach. It's built with proprietary asperity-suppression technology that protects gear surfaces from wear during long, demanding production runs.

How many technicians does it take to operate the RoboGreaser?

One technician can operate the RoboGreaser and complete a full grease cycle in under an hour. This means a single team member can service an entire bank of robots in the time it once took to manually grease just one, while also spending less time working near live machinery.

Can GreaseWorx be customized to my specific robotic applications?

Yes. GreaseWorx isn't a one-size-fits-all system — AMSOIL Industrial Application Engineers map your specific robots, production schedule and performance goals, then design an automation setup built around your operation.

This hands-on approach ensures your machines maintain precision and performance shift after shift, rather than forcing your floor to adapt to a generic template.

What robots is GreaseWorx compatible with?

GreaseWorx is designed for large, multi-axis industrial robots that use grease in their gearboxes, such as six-axis assembly-line units like the FANUC R-2000iA/200FO used in internal AMSOIL Industrial testing. Because every GreaseWorx setup is engineered around your specific equipment, an AMSOIL Industrial Application Engineer will confirm compatibility and configure the system for your robot models during custom consultation.

How do I get a savings analysis for my operation?

You can request a custom savings analysis by contacting an AMSOIL Industrial Application Engineer, who will evaluate your current greasing process, robot fleet and labor costs to estimate your potential time and cost savings with GreaseWorx.
