EC.PR position-dependent push/pull force measurement

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

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

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

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

Proof

Tested on a 200-m field test stand in the world's largest laboratory for dynamic energy transmission systems

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.
