The Brain Of The Energy Chain: PPDS From Igus Monitors Trouble-Free Energy Chain Functio

摘要

Machine stoppages can't always be fully avoided - even with most extensive precautionary measures. When energy supply systems are open, parts or tools can fall into the chain and block the motion. The possible consequence: Damages that require partial or complete replacement of the chain and the guided cables. In these cases to keep damages to a minimum , igus offers the appropriated "Push Pull Force Detection System" (PPDS) for such applications, igus could tremendously reduce the space requirement due to the use of state-of-the-artelectroniccomponents: previous and partly clumsy switchbox-es for evaluation units of shrink about 2/3 in size and price. With it the "brain of the energy chain" now becomes cost-effective standard equipment.
