Glass container forming system and method

A robotic mold lubrication system, comprising:

• a rail;
• a carriage moveable along the rail;
• a motor for moving the carriage along the rail;
• a tank carried by the carriage and holding lubricant;
• a robot carried by the carriage and having a robotic arm;
• a lubricant applicator subsystem having an interchangeable applicator and conduit for transferring the lubricant from the tank to the interchangeable applicator, wherein the interchangeable applicator is configured to be coupled to an interchangeable tool coupling at an end of the robotic arm;
• and
• a control system having at least one processor and memory for storing computer instructions, wherein the control system is configured to use the at least one processor to use the robotic arm to couple the interchangeable applicator to the interchangeable tool coupling.

A robotic mold lubrication system, comprising:

• a rail having a longitudinal beam supported at each end by a vertical post;
• a carriage moveable along a top surface of the longitudinal beam;
• a motor for moving the carriage along the longitudinal beam;
• a tank carried by the carriage and holding lubricant;
• a lubricant applicator subsystem having an applicator and conduit for transferring the lubricant from the tank to the applicator, and
• a robot carried by the carriage and having a robotic arm coupled to the applicator.
