A new igus communication module combines i.Sense sensors and the “superwise” service for low-cost, fast and reliable condition monitoring in real time to avoid costly failures. Optimising operational processes and minimising downtime: the iComm Box from igus can help. Inside the new communication module, igus i.Sense condition monitoring sensors are smoothly integrated into “superwise” – […]
Billions of test cycles in the company’s in-house laboratory means igus can extend its industry-leading four-year warranty for all products that can be calculated in terms of service life. First, chainflex cables offered the four-year warranty: and now igus is now offering this extended warranty for all products with an igus service life calculation. Customers […]
New generation of igubal spherical plain bearings are equipped with a predictive maintenance system Costly machine failures due to undetected defects in demanding applications should soon be made redundant, thanks to a new generation of two- and four-hole flange bearings with “smart” features. The lubrication-free high-performance plastic bearings are equipped with miniature wireless sensors that […]
igus’s membership of the Berlin expert network “IoT Use Case” helps it take advantage of the multi-trillion dollar IoT market The Internet of Things has a growth potential of several trillion dollars – consultancy McKinsey estimates it could realise $5.5tr to $12.6tr in value globally by 2030. However, many industrial companies still have difficulties in […]
igus monitoring module with status display measures the distance to the damaged or defective part of the cable Maintaining and monitoring heavily used and hard-to-reach bus cables is a constant challenge. i.Sense CF.D – the monitoring module from igus – has a unique function; it automatically detects the position of stressed areas in a cable […]
Downtime costs money. Wasted money causes stress. Stress causes unhappiness. In order to prevent unhappiness, stress and wasted money companies are investing in smart technology which alerts staff when breakages or excessive wear is occurring in production lines. In this video of the week, you can see how simple the technology and system and how […]
The new i.Sense TR. B sensor from igus enables condition monitoring for triflex R energy chains in multi-axis applications Whether welding, painting, soldering or palletizing: industrial robots work dynamically. A flexible 3D energy chain such as the triflex R from igus allows robot cables to be guided safely. To detect potential chain breaks caused by […]
Make your energy chain system intelligent. Adding a sensor unit to your machine helps prevent breakdowns, can save you time and money and keep your production line running. The i.Sense EC.W system allows a direct connection from the energy chain system to the control, offers real-time monitoring of the e-chain wear and ensures continuous supply. […]
i.Sense CF.D sensors detect defects in chainflex bus and data cables, preventing expensive machinery downtime. Smart monitoring of bus and data cables from igus has entered the next phase with igus i.Sense CF.D monitoring sensors. They check the electrical condition of chainflex cables in e-chain systems, with no contact and without interfering with existing cable […]
Downtime costs money! So, to help prevent this igus® has the i-cee:plus- an intuitive hardware and software system that not only gives you a lifetime prediction of your energy chains and pre-warns you of potential failures BEFORE they occur so you can schedule planned downtime to suit you and your business. In this week’s video […]
