Abstract
A machine including a first kinematic joint, wherein the first kinematic joint is lubricated based on a first schedule and a second kinematic joint, wherein the second kinematic joint is lubricated based on a second schedule. The first schedule is different than the second schedule. A lubricant pump is configured to pump a lubricant and a distribution valve is in communication with the lubricant pump. The distribution valve has a first fluid outlet configured to supply the lubricant from the lubricant pump to the first kinematic joint and a second fluid outlet configured to supply the lubricant from the lubricant pump to the second kinematic joint.
