Get smart with fluid application

Take full control of your die and stock lubrication with Unist's SmartFlow® programmable fluid controller. Designed to provide fluid to a Uni-Roller® stock lubricator and/or in-die spray nozzles, the SmartFlow® features robust process monitoring capability and an easy-to-use interface that makes job setup simple and quick. The SmartFlow® removes fluid concerns from the equation and allows metal formers to focus on the forming process.

Case Study
Stamper mops up sloppy savings
Since installation in 2018, Fayette Tool has been an avid proponent of Unist’s metal-forming package. The initial installation was so successful, Fayette upgraded all of their press lines with Unist systems. Fayette reports saving 65% on fluid usage, improved part quality, and heavily reduced janitorial chores due to eliminating fluid run-off.
