3D i.sense: 3D printed wear-resistant parts with sensors

Fast manufacture of intelligent special parts for predictive maintenance

Components made with the multi-material printing process enable predictive maintenance for quickly manufactured special parts, so that machine downtime and maintenance work can be reduced sustainably. Due to the sensor layer, the intelligent 3D isense components issue a warning before the wear limit is reached or if overloading occurs.  

Multiple asset connection

i.Cee.box ... LoRa Receiver & antenna

The i. Cee. box manages to escape the machine's control cabinet and offers the possibility to transmit data via LoRa radio transmission standard, according to IP68. Therefore, the box is an alternative to the i. Cee. plus module, which is installed in the control cabinet.

Lifelong condition monitoring

EC.W LoRa separator with solar power supply

This separator powered with solar electricity is always bursting with energy. Changing the battery of the installed module is no longer necessary. 
Abrasion at the crossbar of the chain can be measured without problems and in a resource-friendly way.  

Intelligent iglidur isense plain bearing

No more unexpected bearing damage

iglidur® isense plain bearings indicate their wear status in good time. If a bearing needs to be changed, the system is informed about it.

EC.PR position-dependent push/pull force measurement

Protection for travels of up to 1000m – along their entire length

EC.PP trough-integrated path measurement system

Provides EC.PR position data

Crossbar for online lifetime monitoring

IoT cloud connection for gliding e-chain systems®

Service life monitoring for all e-chain® installation types

Integrated offline service life monitoring for unsupported and roller chain applications

Function check at the touch of a button
