Product Overview
Purpose-built for railway rail bolt lubrication maintenance, the iRunYu robot autonomously identifies fasteners and applies high-pressure grease — ensuring uniform, quantifiable coating on every bolt.
The iRunYu Rail Bolt Oiling Robot is a specialized industrial robot designed exclusively for railway track bolt lubrication and maintenance. It addresses the longstanding challenge of labor-intensive, inconsistent manual bolt greasing in railway maintenance.
Leveraging AI and edge computing vision technology, the robot uses deep learning algorithms to precisely locate rail bolts and deliver high-pressure grease spray — achieving accurate, quantitative, one-step automatic oiling of rail fasteners.
Integrated with IoT technology, Beidou high-precision positioning, and visual assistance, the system automatically generates oiling plans and provides full digital LBS status visualization of track bolts, forming a big-data maintenance and inspection report based on weather, temperature, and traffic conditions at each location.
Why Traditional Bolt Oiling Falls Short
Manual bolt lubrication has been the bottleneck of railway maintenance quality and efficiency for decades.
⚠️ Poor Working Conditions
Workers must bend over and use hand brushes to apply oil to bolts in harsh outdoor environments along extended railway lines, leading to high fatigue and safety risks.
⚠️ High Labor Intensity
Workers carry oil buckets and tools along kilometers of track. One worker can only cover a limited distance per shift, making large-scale maintenance slow and expensive.
⚠️ Low Efficiency
Manual brushing is inherently slow. With increasing train speeds and traffic density, maintenance windows are shrinking while the workload keeps growing.
⚠️ Inconsistent Quality
Coating quality depends entirely on worker skill and attention. Under-oiling leads to corrosion and seizing; over-oiling wastes lubricant and causes environmental issues. No quality traceability exists.
Key Features & Advantages
Four core advantages that transform rail bolt maintenance from a manual chore into a smart, data-driven operation.
Reliable Coating Quality
High-pressure spraying technology works with standard grease without dilution, ensuring lubricant quality and uniform, secure coverage on every bolt surface.
High Efficiency, Simple Operation
Fully autonomous operation without manual intervention. Features real-time path control, automatic return, and straightforward deployment — minimal training required for field teams.
Consistent Job Quality
System-controlled quantitative spraying ensures every bolt receives the same amount of lubricant at the same position — eliminating human error and guaranteeing uniform quality across the entire line.
Maintenance Reports & Tracking
Automatic generation of big-data maintenance and inspection reports reduces manual record-keeping, improves accuracy, and enables full lifecycle management of every bolt on the network.
