New Smart Plastics Products

Condition monitoring for vertical e-chain® systems

The established push/pull force and breakage monitoring is now also available for vertical e-chains® applications with guidelok slimline (GLSL.P). The integration of i.Sense increases the service life of the application and avoids failures and unplanned downtimes. This enables safe operation beyond the product life cycle. The application can be integrated into the supervise environment with all the associated benefits.

EC.WLC condition indicator for E4Q

Red, yellow, green - like a traffic light. The mechanical status indicator shows the wear status of gliding e-chains® without any electronics is ow also for the E4Q series.

Data concentrator BLE - Planning reliability via IoT

The data concentrator receives wear or consumption information from all igus® sensors and transmits it to the superwise portal via IoT. This digital interface enables automated data management, for example for smart drytech® bearing or the intelligent chainflex® CASE, which saves resources by reducing the amount of ordering and monitoring required.

In addition, the efficiency of the customer's purchasing department can be increased through automated ordering concepts or active contact on the part of igus®.

A (genuinely) smart sensor -the BLE drylin® W condition monitoring

The two-stage sensor element with microcontroller for data analysis offers real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance of drylin® W linear guides.
Integration into the superwise infrastructure enables automated reminders for replacement measures and ordering of retrofit parts and making unnecessary repairs and replacements are a thing of the past.

Smart monitoring of stock for chainflex® CASE

Smart remaining length calculations for monitoring cable stocks and as a basis for automated reordering.

Reorders can only be placed when required, as the stocks are available by type.

superwise igus® smart service

superwise offers customers the opportunity to request services online, communicate directly and keep an eye on all connected igus® components in a dashboard.

Direct communication with the service team and one-click orders for spare parts, maintenance work or monitoring devices ensure overall system effectiveness at all times.

Currently, more than 1000 customer applications connected to the system are continuously monitored, reducing unplanned downtime.

Extended possibilities - new Firmware for for i.Sense condition monitoring

To achieve the maximum efficiency in condition monitoring, the new firmware of the proven i.Sense condition monitoring module offers motion profile measurement for the use of e-chains® on long travels as well as freely programmable alarm contacts.

The motion profile measurement of the e-chains® via the breakage monitoring sensor provides information about the status of the e-chain®. Integration into the superwise environment is possible. The additional alarm via the NC contacts simplifies software integration and saves programming time.
