efficiency. It control the excess amount of lubricant to gives the final product the worker area. With many years experience in lubrication systems, Lincoln has different system solution to define these factors.
Abstract- In Lubrication process lubricant is used as fluid
in machining process can reduce the cutting temperature and provides the lubrication to work piece and tool .These increase the long life of the tool and good surface quality. There are many types of lubrication system is used in industry. This paper is review of Automatic Lubrication System which is used in industry. This system delivers controlled amount of lubricant to multiple location on a machine parts while the machine is working. The lubrication consists of greasing oil to different greasing points. This study involves with design and manufacturing of automatic lubrication system. This system gives safety to part and worker and it also minimize manpower required for lubrication system. Damage due to large greasing to part can be stopped. This paper also describes the parts which are used to construct of Automatic Lubrication System.
Lubricating grease is made from petroleum thick oil substance which is used as lubricant. The grease consists of oil and other lubricant that is mixed with a typically a soap, to form a semi solid. Lubricating grease contains some performance additives. Grease are a type of shear thinning fluid which define the viscosity of fluid is decreased under shear. The function of grease is that minimize the leakage as sealant. The features of grease is that posses a high initial viscosity, which depend on application of shear. The change in viscosity is called the Thixotropy. Lubricating grease is used in much industry to reduce the wear and friction between movable parts. Due to its semisolids character it act as seal thus preventing from leakage.

The main difference between the automated and manual lubrication is that in the accordance of manually applied lubricants, mechanic tend to lubricate chart. There are many advantages of automation over manual application. It is better to apply small amounts of grease at small time rather than high amounts of grease at large time. With manual application, the device is to apply as large grease as possible without causing harm due to large greasing, thereby maximize the re-lubrication times.
1. INTRODUCTION Now a day many industry maintenance areas are decrease due to wrong lubrication. But there are the number of production machines and lubrication places that have need manual lubrication. By manual lubrication the many times the product is spoilage due to excess lubricant and large energy consumption. The manual lubrication is used in industry to done a job of maintenance operations. Due to this large amount of lubricant is wastage and decrease production. There benefit is not compare to those provided by automated lubrication system in the terms of worker safety, production rate and etc. In automated lubrication system with the help of grease guns equal amount of lubricant in done on the system. Automation lubrication system protects the bearing failure by giving the proper amount of lubricant to the machine at proper time. The automation in lubrication system the crawler system arranged in heavy machinery. The big advantage of automation is that gives safety to labour. It other benefits of this it save the energy and material, increase quality,
