Smart plastics linear guide indicate earlier maintenance requirements

By OEM Update Editorial September 16, 2019 3:46 pm

Detecting the wear of liners in linear systems at an early stage was the goal of the engineers at igus, who have now developed a new,
intelligent linear guide. A sensor in the bearing liners measures the individually determinable wear limit and sounds an alarm when it is reached. This allows maintenance to be planned in advance and avoid unexpected system failure.

From the packaging machine and the glass processing industry up to machine tools, linear guides must withstand extreme loads. In order to detect early wear of the sliding lubrication-free bearings made of high-performance plastics and to plan the maintenance in advance,
igus has now developed a new smart system for its drylin linear systems. The new smart plastics technology measures the wear of dirt and dust-resistant bearings and gives the user a signal when the wear limit is reached.

Patented technology for wear monitoring

Fast replacement directly on the rail
If a bearing change is needed, it is quite simple, because this is where igus banks on its smart bearing replacement technique. The linear axis or the multi-axis gantry with toothed belt drive no longer has to be disassembled, because
the replacement takes place directly on the rail. Similar to a pit stop in Formula 1, the linear plain bearing can be changed in no time at all and thanks to a free tool, it reduces downtimes to a minimum.
