Full control in all situations ... with the smart i.Sense BRG mini sensor

With the new i.Senser BRG mini sensor, you have full control in all position(s). Because with this innovation you can make (almost) every plastic product from igus® "smart"; i.e. as a user you benefit from real-time condition monitoring including digital evaluation options for the recorded machine data. In combination with the i.Cee module, predictive maintenance recommendations and service life statements are then issued.

The whole thing is realised by a small 2.5mm x 4mm wired abrasion sensor, which is simply inserted into the loaded friction points in the plastic. By skilfully positioning these elements geometrically, clear statements can be made about the percentage of the product's service life in the event of an electrical interruption or change in resistance. It does not matter whether the igus® initial product is a 3D printed part, igubal® spherical bearing or customised iglidur® milled parts. The percentage status messages can then be read directly from the PLC machine controller via the cable connection. This means that sales prices of less than 250 EUR can also be achieved.

"Less effort, higher availability"

"Less maintenance, higher availability, the ability to manage all the different cables and hoses in one system, intelligent condition monitoring i.Sense ... I would always use intelligent energy chain from igus® again!"

Worldwide customer applications

Whether in international automotive production, the global crane industry or in regional wastewater treatment plants: i.Sense systems are used successfully wherever maintenance costs are saved and machine downtime is prevented.
