Valveless pump for gearbox lubrication
The PDS-100 by FMI provides metering high viscosity grease at low pressure for precision lubrication of industrial robot gearboxes.
The PDS-100 Programmable Dispensing System by Fluid Metering utilizes FMI's valveless pumping design to accurately deliver gearbox lubricating grease, independent of viscosity. The PDS-100 is able to accomplish this at pressures low enough to prevent any seal damage to industrial robot gearboxes.
The PDS-100 is available in single and dual channel configurations and is easily integrated with industrial process controllers. Dispense and metering rates range from a few microliters per dispense up to 768 ml per minute continuous metering.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
