Heavy loads, long periods of use, and a wide variety of weatherconditions – cranes in port facilities must perform at their best. The fields of application include, among others, ship-to-shore cranes, bulk cargo handling cranes, RTGs, RMGs, Goliath cranes, spreaders and reach stackers. In total, more than 25,000 igus energy chains move across long distances […]
In its first stages, IIoT was limited to high-value, big-ticket technologies such as aircraft turbines, for which the enormous costs associated with failure justified the investment. But now there is a discernible trend towards communication-capable, intelligent devices being used to create integrated systems at the lowest level of the automation pyramid. The current development is […]
With CF.Q, CF.D and CF.P, igus has three sensors in the product range that are designed for chainflex cables. CF.Q is the sensor for the electrical specifications of chainflex cables Belongs to prevention of crash and can be used without an additional module Indicates changes in the electrical properties In the event of a fault, […]
All igus energy chain sensors (push/pull monitoring, abrasion, motion, wear measurement, break detection) can be connected to an icom or icom. plus module. The module can transmit the measurement data to an equipment monitor or a computer, where they are displayed individually or in a dashboard. The advantage of the display and use on the […]
When computers and machines learn from collected data and derive an action from it, one speaks of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The term machine learning is also used in the machine sector. In private life, one example is that of users of music streaming services. Here an algorithm constantly learns from the behaviour of the user: […]
