igus module boosts predictive maintenance
igus has developed a new predictive maintenance device, a new home for the software to power its smart plastics products – thei.Cee:localmodule. The module calculates the remaining service life of the energy chain, cable, linear guide and/or plain bearings during their operation. By doing this, the service life of the system can be optimised, faults are detected and rectified at an early stage, and more accurate maintenance can be planned i...
