Find out today about tomorrow's world: igus smart plastics make maintenance intelligent13/08/2019
Maintenance in the era of Industry 4.0 means a clear change of paradigm. Instead of personnel carrying out maintenance at fixed intervals or merely reacting to a failure or a fault, so-called "predictive maintenance" makes it possible to continually monitor the status of the machine tool. Repair or replacement is only carried out when really necessary. Maintenance tasks can be planned precisely. At the same time, unscheduled shutdowns and therefore the costs of failure can be reduced due to condition monitoring. In order to make this possible, igus has developed sophisticated smart plastics, by using diverse sensors and monitoring modules for energy chains, plain bearings, linear bearings and slewing ring bearings. For example, sensors for the measurement of abrasion or wear of the pin/bore connections of energy chains as well as sensors for the detection of breakages and the push/pull forces being applied. Due to networking with the new igus communication module (icom.plus), which igus will be showing on Stand E01 in Hall 8 at the EMO trade fair, the sensors are integrated into the customer's own IT infrastructure, for example into production management systems such as SCADA and MES, or online into cloud solutions throughout a company.
