i.Sense TR.B Sensor
Description
The i.Sense TR.B is a breakage monitoring system for multi-axis cable carriers. Enabling condition monitoring for triflex R cable carrier in multi-dimensional applications, this sensor detects potential chain breaks due to extreme loads and avoids unplanned machine breakdowns.
The sensor, which increases the safety of robot systems, is connected directly to the PLC customer control without additional software costs. If a chain link breaks, the system detects the change in length of the rope installed in the chain and can accordingly send out a digital signal to the system control. Instant breakage detection enables immediate maintenance measures, avoiding downtimes and total failures in the event of individual chain link breakages.
The combination of a triflex R flexible cable carrier with high tensile force absorption and the i.Sense TR.B sensor makes it possible to guide and protect robot cables, increasing service life. Condition-based maintenance using the TR.B sensor makes maintenance more sustainable as users can avoid unnecessary or premature product replacement. If there is a chain break, the sensor can be reused after an emergency shutdown of the system.
