EC.PR position-dependent push/pull force measurement

Protect the entire length of travels of up to 1,000m

iSense EC.PR

Avoid system-dependent imprecision for push/pull force monitoring systems on travels longer than 150 m.  System-dependent imprecision due to static force limits for travels > 150m are a thing of the past.  Now there is the new EC. PR module. Here, force limits are dynamically adjusted with information  from PLC control systems, OPC-UA servers, or analogue (4-20 mA) path measurement systems (Profinet /EC. PP). This reduces repair cost and effort; replacing a stacker reclaimer, for example, costs $30,000 or more.

Tech up

Tech up

  • Position-dependent reduction of maximum push/pull force limits at which the system is shut down – freely
    defined for each point along the travel.
  • Position information via additional modules from Siemens PLC, OPC-UA servers, or analogue or digital path measurement systems.
Cost down

Cost down

  • Avoid unplanned repair costs such as $49,798 or more for replacing a stacker reclaimer.
  • Integration into existing control concepts and switch cabinets
  • Standard strain gauge sensors and load cells can be used in igus® floating moving ends

Sustainability

Sustainability

  • For example, save 32kg of CO² emissions for each repair deployment avoided. 2
  • Less raw material required thanks to the option of partial repair instead of complete replacement.
