The igus PPDS condition monitoring
system has generally only been
implemented as a safety feature for
cable management applications in
large scale projects, such as offshore
cranes. The tool can monitor the
condition of the energy chain system,
alert a maintenance engineer and shut
down the system if necessary.
Now, igus has introduced a basic version that can be used in smaller industrial applications. The PPDS Basic version monitors push/pull forces to give a simple emergency stop mechanism suitable for energy chains in long travel applications to 100m.
