Understanding processes through intelligent sensor gearboxes
Sensor gearboxes (alpha IQ) allow you to measure, diagnose and assess process parameters directly, i.e. all mechanical loads processed by the gearbox can be measured at the output drive.
Energy Savings and Process Efficiencies
Knowing your components gives you insight into your systems. There are a variety of Wittenstein (alpha) solutions which can add efficiencies for your motion including: Sensor Technology for remote monitoring and maintenance, an "Energy Efficiency" button in cymex servo sizing software to highlight your energy savings and the industry's most efficient servo gearboxes and actuators.
Application areas of the sensor gearbox and customer benefits
Diagnosis
alpha IQ allows you to measure the forces generated in the existing application without modifying the machine design. This measurement then forms the basis for optimisation measures for the drive train design and allows you to select the right drive system components and verify calculations to save valuable resources.
Process monitoring
By measuring key parameters, sensor gearboxes provide a revealing insight into previously unknown process mechanisms. A more accurate understanding of machine processes can be applied directly to improve process stability.
Process control
Measurements provide valuable information that can be used to control and optimise your manufacturing process in realtime. This simple method for optimising processes will impress your customers. |
