smart plastics eliminate unplanned downtimes of
machineries: The intelligent drylin linear guide, the intelligent energy chain
and the intelligent cable monitor themselves permanently and make predictivemaintenance

Motion
plastics, high-performance plastics for motion, defy rain, salt, extreme
temperatures, are resistant to oil or chemicals, are lighter, more dynamic,
more energy efficient and yet cost effective. At the Hannover Messe, igus now
shows the next step – intelligent "smart
plastics" for Industry 4.0. Their goal: to make predictive maintenance
even easier and thus reduce costs in the factory of the future.
Today they are used
worldwide, high-performance plastics for moving applications. In everyday life, in kitchen
machines, bicycles or shower cubicles as well as in industrial environments,
such as machine tools or in crane facilities. igus is able to make accurate
statements about the service life of motion plastics, thanks to the extensive
tests in the 2,750 m² testing lab, The test results are incorporated into the
online tools which are also available as a mobile app. At the Hannover Messe
igus now goes a step further, and in Hall 17 presents smart plastics;
intelligent plastics solutions that ensure additional reliability in the
factory of the future.
Smart plastics detect conditions in operation
The networked smart
plastics expand the possibilities for so-called predictive maintenance and
increase the plant availability for the customer. Intelligent drylin linear
guides as well as the intelligent energy chains and the intelligent cables
constantly monitor themselves and provide early warning of failure. The range
named isense consists of different sensors and monitoring modules. By networking
with the igus communication module (ICOM), a direct integration with the
customer's infrastructure takes place.

Through isense the smart e-chain, cable and linear guide communicate
with the customer and inform them about their condition and potential
maintenance dates. Optionally isense can be connected to the igus data centre
to automate and optimise maintenance processes. (Source:
igus GmbH)
Automated maintenance saves time and money
isense is capable of
monitoring the service life of the e-chain, cable or linear guide. Through
continuous distance measurements and the calculations using the parameters of
the system as well as the thousands of test data from the test laboratory, it
is possible to also reliably predict the smooth functioning in real operation.
If measured values are exceeded, the intelligent products indicate the
remaining term of use early, which enables a timely maintenance and
replacement. Optionally isense can be connected to the igus data centre,
thereby opening up more digital options: customised service life calculation
and optimisation of business processes. These include maintenance commissioning
or spare parts ordering. In this way, the electronic intelligence lowers
maintenance costs even further and increases plant availability. The products
will be available to customers for testing after the Hannover Messe.
