The system will provide fully automated lubrication a new robotic spot welding transfer line which moves vehicle bodies through the welding process.

The lubrication system ensures  that optimum lubrication is maintained on specific parts of the transfer system throughout the production shift.

Working with Honda's team of specialist production engineers, Halomec was able to design an automated system based around the Lincoln 203 series lubrication pump.  The system will be integrated into the production line control system and provide accurate feedback on the status of the system throughout the period of operation.

Julian Athawes of Halomec, reported that, 'he was delighted to be working with such a high profile leading manufacturer and that it was a testament to the Lincoln product and the design and integration engineering skills that Halomec is able to offer'.

The Honda UK manufacturing facility near Swindon is a £1.33 billion, fully integrated car manufacturing facility producing totally finished cars ready for the road. The processes on-site include engine casting and assembly, the pressing of body panel, body assembly, painting, final vehicle assembly and test track sign-off, with a workforce of 4,000 people.
