Remote condition monitoring ... with smart plastics i.Sense EC.IT

Remote condition monitoring on rol e-chains® without sensors in the e-chain system®

Sensor connection on a metal assembly with two round connectors and cables at the bottom.

EC.IT is a design study for wear detection integrated into the guide trough for long travels with rol e-chain®.Using two sensors, the current service life of the e-chain® is determined during operation.

The new concept eliminates the need for any sensors on or in the igus e-chain system® and the entire interior can be used for cable guidance.

White paper: energy chain with steel cable guide as an alternative to the busbar system?

Up to now, many users have been relying on busbar systems to supply power to indoor and outdoor cranes, electric trains and storage and retrieval units. A similar price to that of a busbar system but with advantages in regard to installation, modularity and maintenance. autoglide 5 combines the best of both worlds.
