Data on the push-pull force of an energy chain system are compared online every four seconds with a calculated target setting. In the event of malfunction, messages, for example, an e-mail which is generated automatically, can be sent immediately to any location and then processed. Data stored internally can be analysed retroactively for a three-month period.
Energy chain monitoring
Igus has launched a remote condition monitoring system for industrial energy chain equipment. The diagnosis tool, called PPDS (Push Pull Force Detection System), monitors the shifting force of energy chains and helps to prevent damage to energy supply systems and breakdowns.
