igus isense energy chains and conduits with wear sensing

Click2Contact

Treotham supplies a range of igus cables, energy chains and linear bearings with added intelligence and networking to enable industry 4.0. During ongoing operation, they detect the degree of wear and emit an alarm as soon as repair or replacement is necessary.

Users can increase reliability and plant availability, minimise downtime and reduce costs through condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Through extensive testing, igus is able to accurately predict the service life of its motion plastics. igus plastics are self-lubricating and maintenance-free, as well as lighter, hard wearing and energy efficient.

The isense products from igus includes diverse sensors and monitoring modules, while networking with the igus Communication Module (icom) enables direct integration with the user’s IT infrastructure or the igus data cloud.

Data can also be optionally shared with the igus data centre, opening up possibilities for customer service life calculation and optimisation of business processes.
