Automatic lubrication system for lubricating an object

The lubrication system according to 1,

• wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine the at least one lubrication parameter based on at least one container parameter, wherein the at least one container parameter is indicative of at least one of:
• a type of the lubricant container;
• a capacity of the lubricant container;
• a volume of the lubricant container;
• an initial volume of lubricant stored in the lubricant container;
• a geometry of the lubricant container;
• a shape of the lubricant container;
• a height of the lubricant container;
• and
• a diameter of at least a part of the lubricant container.

A method of operating a lubrication system including an automatic lubrication system, the method comprising:

• actuating, with a control circuitry of the automatic lubrication system, an electric motor of the lubrication system to drive, during at least one lubrication action, a rotatable shaft of a lubricant container and to displace a piston of the lubricant container coupled to the rotatable shaft;
• generating, with at least one capacitive sensor including at least one electrode and arranged at a wall of the lubricant container, at least one sensor signal indicative of a capacitance in a vicinity of the at least one electrode;
• and
• determining, with the control circuitry of the lubrication system, at least one lubrication parameter indicative of the at least one lubrication action based on the at least one sensor signal of the at least one capacitive sensor.
