Precision Lubrication

Monitoring and Management Solutions for World-Class Lubrication Programs 

Maximizing asset life and efficiency with precision lubrication practices. By combining ultrasound-guided tools with smart software, every lubrication task doubles as condition monitoring data collection. 

By monitoring friction in real time, and comparing live data to historic trends, your team ensures the right amount of grease is applied, eliminating the guesswork and reducing the waste of expensive lubricants.
