Bijur Delimon Controllers & Monitoring

Controllers and monitoring devices from Bijur Delimon are essential components in automatic lubrication systems. They provide timing control, system feedback, fault detection, and integration with machine automation so lubricant is delivered accurately, consistently, and safely to every lubrication point.

What Are Controllers and Monitoring Devices?

Controllers are the decision engines of a lubrication system—they determine when and how often lubrication events occur and monitor system health. Monitoring devices provide real-time feedback such as pressure confirmation, cycle verification, low lubricant level detection, and fault alerts. Together they help machines stay protected without constant human supervision.

Where These Devices Are Used

These components are widely used in industrial environments where reliability and precision matter. Common applications include:

• CNC machines and machining centers
• Progressive and dual-line lubrication systems
• Automated production lines
• Presses, conveyors, and forming equipment
• Systems that require synchronized lubrication with machine cycles

Why Controllers and Monitoring Matter

In automated lubrication systems, timing and verification are key to preventing under- or over-lubrication. Simple controllers schedule lubrication events, while advanced controllers can monitor pressure, cycle counts, and integrate machine signals. Monitoring devices alert maintenance teams before failures or dry conditions cause downtime.

Common Types of Controllers & Monitoring Devices

• Timer-based controllers – Schedule lubrication at fixed intervals.
• Pressure feedback controllers – Confirm pressure build-up before delivery.
• Cycle input controllers – Sync lubrication with machine cycles.
• Low-level monitoring – Detect reservoir depletion.
• Fault and warning relays – Integrate with machine PLC or alarm systems.

When to Use Controllers & Monitoring

• Machines with multiple lubrication points requiring controlled timing
• Systems where lubricant loss, pressure loss, or missed cycles cause damage
• High-duty equipment operating continuous or long shifts
• Production environments that require automated integration and fault reporting

When Basic Timing May Be Enough

• Simple systems with predictable, low-risk lubrication needs
• No requirement for feedback or integration with automation
• Low-duty machines where manual supervision is acceptable

How Controllers & Monitoring Improve Reliability

Controllers manage when lubrication happens, and monitoring devices confirm it happened correctly. Together they:

• Prevent dry running by detecting low lubricant levels
• Stop over-lubrication by confirming delivery and pressure
• Integrate with machine controls for synchronized operation
• Provide early alarms for maintenance action before failures occur

Common Mistakes and Misapplications

• Choosing a controller without feedback capabilities when pressure monitoring is needed
• Failing to integrate monitoring signals into machine safety systems
• Over-relying on timers in systems where cycle synchronization is critical
• Ignoring low-level warning signals until a failure happens

Benefits of Bijur Delimon Controllers & Monitoring Devices

• Higher uptime through reliable lubrication scheduling
• Reduced maintenance emergencies via early fault detection
• Better integration with automation and PLC systems
• More consistent lubrication delivery across points
• Support for complex multi-zone or multi-pump systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a lubrication controller do?
A lubrication controller sets the timing and conditions for lubricant delivery, managing pumps and verifying successful delivery with feedback devices.

Why is monitoring important?
Monitoring devices confirm that lubricant is flowing, pressure is reached, or lubricant levels are adequate before and after lubrication events, helping avoid machine damage and unexpected downtime.

Can these devices integrate with machine PLCs?
Yes. Many controllers and monitoring devices include fault and warning relays to communicate with machine control systems or plant automation for synchronized lubrication and fault handling.
